One option is to repaint the exisiting
1600 speedo face with KPH calibrations - an instrument repairer could
do this, or if your handy with computer graphics you can do it
yourself.
Have a look at a 240K Coupe speedo.
These were built at the same time by the same
company. They have the same speedo drive and are geared to the same
cable speeds as modified 1600's, particularly if you run a 240K
type gearbox. These speedos are calibrated in KPH on a 0 -
240kph scale. If the complete speedo itself doesnt fit into the
instrument cluster, the face of the speedo may, and using the same
calibration theory above, the 1600 needle should point to the
correct KPH.
Another alternative is to instal both the
240K speedo and tacho into the 1600 instrument panel. They have
the same "period" look.
If you want to extend on this idea, a
third alternative is to fit a full 240K dash assembly into the 1600.
This has been done in Australia. It gives you access to a full set of
instruments fitted across the dash and looks factory installed if done
properly. There is a bit of work to fitting the
full 240K dash in a 1600 but its not beyond the home mechanic.
Shrinking the width about 1cm is required, and fabricating brackets to bolt
both the 240K dash ends to the 1600 dash mounts. It fits pretty well
across the windscreen. Wiring and cabling are not too difficult as the
technology and fittings are the same era. Also allows a neat "flow" into a
centre console.

I know you can get them in
South Africa, but is there anything
else??
