what clocks to use on a g60 conversion?
« on: 27 August 2012, 21:54 »
mk2 golf g60 conversion, running gear from a rado. has a cable change box think thats o2a?

obviously you cant use the rado clocks as they are mahossive so its got mk3 8v 140mph clocks.

everything seems fine until you get it up in the high revs then the speedo starts going up and down like mad, rev counter is fine and mfa works and milage is fine too.

i dont mind the clocks even though they are not a perfect fit but id like to know why they dont work right.

i can change them if i have to, i also have 2 plug 160mph clocks, 1 plug mk3 16v 160mph clocks and single plug late 8v mk2 single plug clocks.

i believe i can use the late 8v clocks but the speedo id cable driven? i just need some advise really! :smiley:

Yeah unless you find a UK spec Rallye breaking - fat chance!

Swapping over a speedo head is a doddle though, nothing on eBay.de?

I think you need CE2 (Single pin) 16V 160mph & 7.2 Rev limit clocks..


That's why they fetch over £100 a set...
