Eric your the man! 
awesome work! maybe these can be mass produced one day for people who want a digital dash...

Don't know
its Stretch's Digidash thread.
Last Week I received the last necessary parts for my RHD to LHD Digital Dash Conversion
Fuel Sender and the transmission cable for the digital speedo sensor

wow, that is awesome. yeah someone should figure out a way to mass produce those and sell em I bet you'd be able to sell them for a decent price. But by the looks of it probably not even close to worth the work.
May be a daft question - but already being RHD - i assume i could just do a straight swap (with the appropriate mods to the sensors) for my Manual Gauges?
Also - not having TEMS or a Turbo wont matter, will it?

the dash detects that the tems ecu is missing so it doesn't light up the tems bit but still has the car showing open doors and tails out etc
i guess the boost guage will only ever see vacuum lol, if you leave it unwired it just constantly reads full boost i think.... been a while since i played with it

Aaaah - thats handy
I suppose i could jury rig the 'boost' to a vacuum line or something, or the airflow meter

last Weekend I have welded the parts together for the case.
You know. I choose another way as Stretch.
And I have integrated the Super monitor housing.
The housing for the super monitor is bigger tha the watch, and I need several hours for integration of the SM.

If this helps.....but will ONLY change the legend. To change to MPH you will need a convertor.:cry:
After dismantling fully the main dashboard unit, you are left with the main circuit boards. We are interested in the main central circuit board that houses the speedometer display. It is actually in two sections, and can be opened up to reveal the back of the display unit.
The main fluorescent panel has connections along both of the long edges. These connections transmit the signals from the display driver chips beneath it to light the individual segments on the display.
To convert the dashboard to mph from km/h all you need to do is locate the pins that supply power to all four segments (mph, km/h, miles and km)
MILES 138
KM 21
MPH 53
KM/H 51
To do the conversion you first need to remove the supply of power to pins 21 and 51 which will cause the km/h and km legends to go out. I found the best way to do this was to get a fine pair of cutters and physically remove the pin going from the board to the display, but please note, this is now the point of no return. You are physically cutting the feeds to these legends and it would be pretty difficult to wire these back in without damaging the display.
The power that was supplying these two pins is still present on the underside of the PCB, and you can use this to feed the power across to the appropriate pins that supply the MPH and MILES legends. Therefore you need to connect a small wire going from pins 138 to 21, and another wire going from pins 51 to 53.
Although not pictured, connecting pins 51 to 53 is very easy as they are quite close together. Below is what the dash looks like now that the legends have been converted.
Hope this will help you out

This conversion is old and you can find it here:

But in Germany, we use km not miles.
Does anybody wants to see some picture from my digital dash conversion?

to bad it isnt like gm. my moms old oldsmobile cutlass had a digital dash, nd to switch between kmh and mph, you just pussed a buton on the gauge cluster. looks good though. gives it that night rider look. lol.
