CR88 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi, The SIII speedometer is compatible with the LT230? If not, what I should do? Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Assuming you could join it up (and ISTR you can do it with a combination of 2-piece speedo cables), the speed would probably be wrong. I have the same problem. One option is to use a Defender speedo, another is to buy a VDO electronic one and the later electronic speed transducer from an LT230.

rtbarton Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 .......One option is to use a Defender speedo, another is to buy a VDO electronic one and the later electronic speed transducer from an LT230. Wouldn't you need Defender diffs though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR88 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Wouldn't you need Defender diffs though? I intend to change the diff ratio as well. The final ratio is same as defender has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 it also depends what tyre size u will be running too. the series 3 speedo cable will mate to the lt230, reove the series ring that holds the end of the cable in place and use the lt230 retaining clip, its easy as that to bolt em up. then take it for a spin and see how much its out, lt230's have different ratio speedo drives (def,disco, etc)which are interchangeable so you might be able to get it close enough.

steve b Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Depending on your tyre size you might find that a km/h series speedo will give a close approximation to the correct speed in mph - its what I did on the last coiler88 I built, distance recording might be a bit out tho. The cable fits as Tonk says. HTH Cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Wouldn't you need Defender diffs though? Nope, the (aftermarket) electronic ones are programmable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
