A mates got a VB v8 he wants to fit the elec dash from a VK calais
The main problem that I can see is that theres no speedo cable like on his old dash
how can we get around this ? the car that had the dash was a trimatic and his is a th400
can the wiring loom from the trimatic be used on the th400 ?
can this be done ?
thanx dudes and have a happy new year

If he has the entire VK there, then I would suggest he do a total loom swapover with everything.
So if you cant talk him out of it, at least make him do a total loom swap.
The hardest parts will be making a mount for the fuse box, and drilling the 6 |
