Default Project/Conversion ??s

Just one question for you guys, I did a search but have not found any details. Once I swap the suspension on my 87 924s qith the 86 951 what will I need to do for my speedo? I believe the 86 uses a connection to the trans where the 924 hooks into the spindle. Is that correct? I know this has been done but I am not sure how.

Correct on the tranny speedo. The workshop manuals should tell you all you need...should I have a tranny technik supplement that goes into more detail.
As far as a conversion....beats me... but cudo's for going at it.

Correct, you do.

You can drill the 86 951 spindle and modify it to make your pre-85.5 speedo work. Take a look at how it is done on the early spindle. When you have the two side-by-side.

Its just in the hubcap. Put the 924S hubcap on the 86 spindle.
