Hopefully a simple question.

Are Vauxhall Nova and Corsa B/Tigra A fuel gauges calibrated the same?

i.e. can I use a Corsa gauge with a Nova sender unit?

Thanks

would have thought so, most vauxhalls of that era where all intergangeable

Are you making your own dash, other wise what's wrong with using a Nova gauge?

I have a GSi petrol gauge if any good to you.

Its a long story, I'm upgrading to 1400 16V in the rally car and need a rev counter that reads to 8K+. To fit this I will be removing the standard 6 dial SR instrument pod and fitting a bespoke rally dash. As after market fuel gauges can't be calibrated to the standard gauge I need to fit the Nova fuel gauge somewhere, probably in the rear above the filler. I have a Tigra instrument pod that came with the 16V motor, it is larger and I'm guessing easier to mount in a bespoke pod.

Told you it was a long story, but thats the reason why I want to make sur the Tigra gauge is calibrated to the Nova tank.
