RGV front end

[weegiboy]

How Do
So i haave decided to go the RGV front end route instead of the TZR route i started with so will be selling those off soon , my question is this if i have a complete RGV front end can i use the rgv speedo drive that comes with the wheel ?
Thanks for all you're input Lads

Ah so if i don't go down the kidney clock route but either go standard or say the new style one from NK Racing it could be ok ?

Hi,

You can go down the route of using the rgv speedo bot the tacho is not compatible with the yam electrics without some electronic wizardry.

Have used the N style clocks on both of my front ends with rgv drive and don't think the error is that bad. Keep meaning to strap on the sat nav to see the GPS accurate speed and work out the error, as long as you know how far out it is. Have modded a few sets of N clocks for the Lc2 loom with elec tacho.

As for an NK set, if altering the speedo setting is beyond you then good luck wiring up an electronic set - no offence.

Think im going down the non kidney but original RD clock route and will just have to apply myself and get tucked in , no doubt i will be providing you lads with some entertaining posts in the months to come.

When you say original rd do you mean lc clocks as that is something I'm thinking about trying. Should be easy to fit the Lc2 loom to the lc clocks.

Where you from? Is the weegi a hint?

Hi Steve
Yes im going for the LC clocks for that classic look :-) ( Nigel @nk Racing didn't seem to think that would be a problem in that the guy is so on the money he would of said otherwise ) and yes the clue is there im from Glasgow but have lived in London since 96 so my freinds from this neck of the woods call me a jockney

I've got some std LC clocks on mine with an RGV front end the RGV cable does fit but could do with being may be another 20-30mm longer.

Had the problem with my lc2/vj22. You can get venhill to make one but I used a 600 bandit cable, it's a few inches longer but you need to modify it a bit by cutting the slot in the bottom of the cable deeper and filing it a bit wider. Did think it was slightly too long at first but changed calipers to busa six pots and needed the slight legnth to go round them. Cheap fix at about a tenner for a pattern one.

Have dealt with NK before, good quality. Got silencers and the rgv conversion kit from him as well as a few other bits. Was really impressed with the conversion parts.

Like the "jockney" name, do you not miss the back roads up here?
