Has anyone fitted a digital dash to the omega? If so from what car and any problems encountered. I was going to fit some kind of plasma dials but ive always liked the digi dials and just wondered if its possible.
Cheers

Not seen it done in the OmegaB

So it could be a bit of a pain in the arse to do.

Doubt you'll find a complete dash that will fit, seeing as the Omega's is pretty unique. So you'll have to manually fabricate something. Then you will have to have a computer behind it to control it.

Lot of work for zero gain. Just by a 24v Senator instead

Not a bad result. I didn't realise how much I'd used the dash PRN321 on the my Senator till I didn't have it on my Omega.

I'd have to have the 12v, never a fan of those digi dashes - one of the reasons I sold my MkII GTE...  ...the main one being the £3k insurance quote

12v Sennie was a waste of time imo.The 24v engine was a stonking engine.
I loved the digital dash,going back to analogue took a lot of getting used to,and if it was reasonably easy to do,I would have a digital dash in my Omega like a shot.
Iirc the insurance for my Senator was around £150.Those were the days - only about 7 years ago.

Yeah, you're right, I'd have an Omega. Oh, I do. 2 of them . And one of them is £175 to insure with declared mods

The digi dash was nothing to do with the of valves, it just depended on what the original buyer ordered it with. My 92 Senny would've had an analogue as standard because of its age, however it was ordered with a digital.

IIRC, 24v came as std, 12v had it (after a certain date) as an option?

It was to start with, but due to not being popular, the default dash became analogue. Hence my digital dash in my 92 car had been ordered that way.  (Can't think of when the change was)

Thanks for the link.
I really wish i worked hard in my german classes at school. Its something im going to do hopeful, if i can make a ship float then fabbing this should be easy. Although electrics aint my strong point im sure i can get round it with a bit of electrical tape!!
