KMH TO MPH

[snaps 0]

Hello 

 

I have a jap import 205gti with kmh speedometer. I have bought the UK mph speedometer but want to put the correct mileage on converted from kmh. I am struggling to do this. I have taken the barrel off but there is obviously a mechanism in place to stop you doing this easily. Any advice.

 

Cheers

Take the barrel appart? I did that years ago but as far as I remember it wasn't that difficult to put it back together.

yeah that'll work for the speed you're travelling

wait, but wont the mileage clock be out ?

I asked a pro if he could wind back a clock to match the mileage on a new engine I'd installed once

you can do it, he just didn't want to say so cause he thought I was being dodgy

do you mean the central one that runs from the back thru to the centre speedo needle ?

I've got a spare dial but am afraid that if I took it apart, the gears and springs would go everywhere

and I think there's some tricky button or something that stops the clock being wound back

no idea where though, put up a picture of the barrel if you have it
