Speedo overlays

[cotswoldiver]

Before I just add some simple sticky numerals near the existing figures, does anyone know a good source for a mph sticker to lay over the KPH dial?
Seen a buy it now product on ebay, just wondered if anyone knew of an alternative as I don't intend changing the whole dial
Thanks

I'm interested in this but I would want it the other way round. KPH to go onto my MPH speedo...

 

[Araon]

why not get a cheap KPH speedo and swap the face

Agree - Tis a plan, but I want to keep the original speedo which is why I was after overlays ....

Keep you speedo.
Pull off needle,unscrew the 2 screws on the grey trim piece,lift off dial.
Refitting is the reverse of above.
Mark the position of the round spinning bit underneath inline with the body to establish where zero is prior to pullung off needle.

I only want KPH for a few months driving round Europe, so would want my MPH back come December, prob not what cotswoldiver is after...

 

[Araon]

surely they are geared differently so you need a seperate KPH speedo......

 

[froggy]

As above, surely you'll need a complete speedo rather than just change the facia?
Hopefully fitting my other dash this week so will have a MPH speedo available if anyone is interested :motion: (sorry but i love this smilie)

 

[Araon]

Just thinking about it, its only the odometer thats geared the speedometer is on a slip coupling with magnetic clutch

 

[Araon]

Why not, get a replacement glass china graph the important elements on it and swap it over....


in the blue peter tradition heres one I prepared earlier

 

[paul]

Good point about the odometer reading-but even that can be swopped over!
Araon-where can one get spare/replacement glass from-need some spares as I need one or two to drill hole in for trip reset (started as KPH and being refurbed as MPH)8)

 

[clyde]

Im sure you cant just change the face. You need a MPH clock im affraid.

 

[Araon]

You can have the glass pictured if you want it....Paul....

also got the other two a couple of locking rings two small blanks one grey one deluxe if anyones interested (the deluxe is handy if you want to convert your grey faced clock to a delux clock

and a host of KPH speedo parts

 

[paul]

Araon
Thanks for the offer that would be great as a spare glass would be handy-don't want to be greedy but the deluxe blank would be useful.
If you are going to be at Sandown pm me your mob and we can meet up-I can do the carpark on the Sat on the way to work or anytime Sunday
Cheers Paul
