Speedo Dial Change

Post by Blue Moonraker »

Weve recently bought a Westy from Germany and just want to change the speedo dial to read MPH (not bothered about the mileometer being km's). Have made a quick search but doesn't seem to be a definate answer on this. Can you just get a replacement dial/label/sticker the covers the km one and shows the mph speed ?

They tend to come and go on ebay but keep looking, they always turn up. White rather than black I think but do the same job.

That's perfect, is the scan you sent the right size or would it need re-sizing do you know? very kind of you and what a good idea. Finally, are you aware of any difference apart from the face i.e gearing of an kmh speedo vs mph? thanks ansd best wishes

Hi

Nope but working on it. :D If you aren't in a rush hang fire for a few days.

I Have cleaned the image and made sure it's plumb.

Just got to add the lines. Here is where im at

All the gearing is down to the number under the MPH '820' on this one.
