speedo (the dial - not the trunks) -

good point -

my link (as above) reckons -

♦ I pulled the needle upwards carefully with
my fingers and noticed it wasn't going to
budge. Deciding against using excessive
force, which could lead to damage, I
phoned Kingfisher Kustoms. Lift the needle
over the stop pin carefully and allow to rest
at the calibration markings.
♦ The needle comes off at this point and
should be refitted within these markings.
This gives the speedometer the necessary
preload. If the needle is too stiff, use some
spoons to lever it off. I found that this
avoided damage (scratches) and they
performed well as leverage tools.

I assume the 'calibaration markings' mean - where the needle usually sits? - on zero?

if you remove the needle make a note of the position of the little brass disc with the slot in it that sits within the spring if you lose this position you speedo will be out

hi
I swapped my kilometers dial for a mileage dial in my westy (still kept the original)
I spoke with simon about this and the dial compatibility depend on the three digit number at the bottom, it was an easy swap, put my mileage on the new dial and away I went
