Neil's FB Station Wagon

[Brett027]

Purchased one of the Chinese GPS speedo's that Brett purchased from eBay, looks pretty good but a little worried that it does not sit on Zero unless it needs power to zero, will see when it goes in.

It will go to zero once it's connected up. Getting the rev counter callibrated is the hard bit. You will need another rev counter to check against as you go. There are an infinite amount of combinations to use, not like the old switch for 4,6 or 8 cyls. It will keep you busy. The speedo is very accurate and easy to fit and wire up.

Thanks Brett I came across the tacho issue when I was doing the conversion on my FC Sedan the commodore signal pick up from the alternator from memory and is weird 5 square signal or something , can't remember, anyway I can get a converter I believe that goes into the signal supply wire that converts the signal, I'm still along way off of there at the moment.

Hey Greg it isn't the adapters that are the problem it is the callipers, where I have ground the calliper in the picture is to flatten the mounting area and so that when it mounts to the stub axle it mounts flat to the mounting face of the stub and doesn't kick it over to jam on the rotor.

I'll take a photo of the other calliper to show what I mean

Hi Greg see the photo of the calliper that I haven't ground, you can see the casting is close to the mounting holes.

Because the flange of the drop spindle where the calliper mounts is so different (larger) that you need to give the calliper the clearance otherwise the mount holes don't match up and the calliper fowls on the rotor.
