Would it be more straightforward buying a rev counter and connecting it up , instead of replacing the clocks as a whole ?

Cheers

probably the clocsk, as you'd have to get them out to wire the rev counter up properly anyway

im guessing u have no rev counter now? easiest thing would be to get some clocks out of an SRi or GSi etc with a rev counter and a cable speedo, and they SHOULD just plug in

hmm a rev counter in the dash would look good done properly i think.

Too much hassle getting a set of clocks with incorrect mileage etc

If you get a set of cable driven clocks with rev counter from an early SRi or GSi, you can use an electric drill to add or subtract mileage til it matches yours.

I didnt bother as the clocks I had were only 2k more than mine.

Are you saying that if your car had done 80k, and you had a set of clocks reading 60k, it would be ok to fit them without setting the clocks to the right mileage? I doubt it.

Works both ways you see.
