i'm fitting a focus rs box into a mk2 fiesta, what clocks can i use that operate off the speedo sensor in the box?
i'm getting short of cash, so the cheaper the better relaly, somethign standard looking is what i'm after or i'll get rid of my current setup and go for individual gauges.

The problem would be calibration if using other than the RS gearing ?, ie you can't adjust std clocks.

I have been looking at some aftermarket ones, might have to be the route to take.

There are also numerous electric to mechanical speedometer adapters. Something like the cable-x:

does depend on cost and i can't find that info.
i'd love to change speedo and tachometer really, but that will cost around £300 for autometer or smith ones as i like the analogue look rather than cheap small digital items.
if a standard bit if kit could be grafted into dash that would be good, but changing to programable would have its benefits.

just done search into cable x, would cost just over £200, another £100 and i could have good aftermarket gauges that have stepper motors for accuracy.

go on demon tweeks site its less than 200 quid.

i did decide to go for aftermarket, got my eye on a smith one, but stack or autometer are runners up if cheap enough.
as i'll replace speedo and tacho at the same time to give it a nicer look and make the readings more accurate.
