digital dash

Post by nncoolg » Mon Jan 26, 2009 8:45 pm

I am after either a Digital RX or XT dash, so
Question 1 is : Has anyone got one of them?
Question 2 is : If I cant get one here and I source one from the states, can the odometer be converted from MPH to KPH?

Cheers.

I believe it can,.. im sure ive seen somewhere that there is a soldered link on the circuit board that selects either KM/H or MPH

OK, can anyone expand on this?
How about the mechanical number counters?

In the US, I know on the analogue clusters the speedo (and consequently the input shaft for the cable) are on a different side. I would imagine it would be the same situation for the digital cluster.

Like it came from a Delorian (think 'Back to the Future')

I was after a picture, to see the layout. I'm trying to source 1 for my ET Pulsar from NZ.

I know from experience that letting battery go flat completely, then having a few goes to jump start the car can randomly make the speedo go to MPH... That's what happened to my Touring Wagon, at least. Never got around to fixing it, though - I sold it not long after.
Living in Canada now. Looking at all these SVXs for sale...

Yea, but how does one change the mechanical portion of it?
