Can you fit an instrament cluster with a rev counter to a corsa that just has the standard speedo cluster fitted?

Cable is a bit harder to do because cable clocks with a rev clock are rare now so the cable has to be adopted into electric clocks

Well easiest way to do it is get an electric type gearbox from a 1.2 16v but you still have to f**k up alot of electrics, its a dash out job and not worth it

same problem tbh :lol: its because no one makes cable stuff anymore because it doesn't sell but you can get a transducer thing a ma bob that you feed the cable into and turns it to electric at the other side of, if you could be find one of them a rev pod would be simple installed

I managed to fit a set of clocks from a 97 plate 1.2 into another without any issues. There's a possibility that yours is electronic speedo as well

The old clocks are just standard with no rev clock. It is just the electrical plug behind the speedo so its not cable driven. I was told that it would be a straight swap with no problems. Its a p reg 1997 1.2 8v

8v are normally cable so if it didnt have a rev counter the cable wouldnt have been run to the cabin, if it was electric it would be plug and play
