Do a search for a product called 'Cable X', that will convert the speed signal to cable drive.

Saw your post over on STD. I'm a bit confused as to exactly what you need.
Do you now have a cable drive at the gearbox or electric, or nothing? And what type of speedo head are you trying to drive?

In what respect? What do you have at present and what doesn't mate?

The standard speedo is cable driven which normally plugs into the standard gearbox. It has a 6 speed conversion so the standard box isnt there to plug into.

What system is on the 6speed?

Pulled this from t'web which shows an electric drive bottom left which is probably the speedo and will undoubtedly connect through the can bus. So you're probably gubbed for using the in-house system.



Pick a system from here and graft it into your binnacle.
