Type 9 to electronic speedo
Hi all
This may be another of my noddy questions but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I have decided to use an electronic speedo and so I
presume I need to blank off the fittings in the 'box where the speedo drive gear and cable would fit. I bought the 'box off ebay and it
didn't have the drive gear fitted.
Do I just need this part from Burton (5th from bottom)
"PLUG - SPEEDO GEAR RETAINER" GBT9541 ?
Cheers
Rich

Thats the part that fits from the underside (opposite of cable) and holds the gear in. Does that make sense

That's what I thought. Without it the drivegear would be exposed, right? What can I use to plug up the hole where the cable fits?
Cheers

A speedo gear. The 'O' ring (in the box) on the cable side seals on the gear.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

You can fit electronic senders in the type 9 gearboxes. I think 2.0 litre granada's had them. Burton also do them
[The link to the Burton site didn't work in my post so do a search there for "speedo" and see the first two items]

Oil will leak out of the box if you dont plug the old speedo drive with something. I turned up some aluminium plugs to blank mine off.
