Default Need Electronic to mechanical speedo conversion

I was wondering if anyone knows of any companies that have the conversion box that takes a vss signal and runs a mechanical speedometer? Thanks

Its $300. I still need mine but i feel like 300 is to much for this.

My brother was looking for the same thing. the cable X is the only one that I have heard of being used. But I might try this one http://www.dragonaero.com/SpeedChang...anicalPage.htm $130 is a lot better than 300, I just can`t find anyone who has actually used it yet.

If you have a 4l60 e there is also a kit for the tail shaft that converts it to mechanical cable driven for the speedo. I think it runs 300+. I believe Bman did this in his lemans he is building.
