    Default Dual Gauges odd question.

    Hi all

    Is there a way to run a speedo cable and digi dash sender from the gear box at the same time? I understand that you can only have one plug on the gearbox obviously, but wondered if there was a way to effectively use both?

    In my head I visualise being able to split the digi dash sender, remove the spigot and reseal sender around speedo cable etc - obviously not as straight forward as that but you get what I mean....having not seen inside the digi sender yet I don't know where the contacts sit to create the signal etc.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Nova SPI has a mechanical speedo wotsit with an electronic takeoff (3 wires and usual 3 pin plug style thing)

    No idea what pulses they are as to whether they'll work with your plans though

    Two different Digi dash/transducer combos:
    16 pulse/rev and
    6 pulses/rev

    The 1.2spi transducer is 8 pulses/rev.... so you can see which digi dash it will more or less read correctly (ish) on
