Title: mechanical speedo drive
Post by c20spit on Jul 10^th, 2010, 3:49pm

is there a simple swap available to turn the electronic speedo drive in the gearbox into a mechanical one on an s reg scorpio 2.3 manual?

No,the Granada 3 had a cable speedo and a VSS but an outlet each side,I wouldn't imagine an easy conversion is possible.
GOZZ.

I know its fairly simple on a type 9 but unsure of the MT75

Going the other way, mechanical to VSS is easy but not sure about this way.

I'm looking at doing the same in my 24v tvr s2 project

will post in the next couple of days after seeing the chap who built my 75 - he reconned he could do it by removing the plug/plate opposite side of the box to the drive for the electronic speedo
