Speaking of upgrades to speedometers. (This was where we started?) I think we should look at fitting 240 K speedos and tachos. The 240K speedo is already calibrated in KPH, (both needle and odometers) and the dial has a useful top speed range for a typically worked 1600 - 240KPH. I know the tacho is calibrated for a 6cyl but there are cheap electronic fixes for that. The 240K speedo uses the same fitting on the cable drive and can be easily recalibrated for a 1600, either by use of the right cog in the gearbox end of the speedo drive (many of us will already have this cog if you run a 240K box and 14 inch rims), or by use of the right hair spring on the needle drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: sss510 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 10, 2004 3:25 PM Subject: Re: Upgrade speedometer, odometer to modern KM's with trip meter.
