I am currently doing a corsa c20let conversion and the clocks only go up to 140mph, I just had a thought and wondered of calibra or cavalier clocks would fit in the hole in a corsa because there 160mph which would be spot on.

Anything will fit if you have the time patience and skill.
As Matt said think this has been done, but no idea on just lashing them in there. From memory the clock binnacle is straight whereas the corsa's is banana shaped

Hmm ok then might look in to it then. Or digi dash instead.

digi dash is tried and tested, looks cooler in my opinion as well

Would it be worth the hassle?? Will you be up that end of the speedo regularly to warrant having 160mph speedo clocks??
Even when you are, i would say it looks cooler going off the clock.

I can imagine the clocks being about as accurate as most of nicbarnes comments

the rev gauge from the V6 versions wouldn't be accurate on 4 potters but other than that i cant see their being much issue, you may need a different part number transducer though

That's why he would use clocks from a Turbo.

I had a go at fitting some Calibra dials once because there was someone on here who grafted a digi dash into one and got it looking nice. I don't know how he did it because they're a bit too wide for the binnacle.
