Working through some things, need Speedo advice

So, about a year ago I purchased my first (and to date only) Porsche. A 1986 951 with 88,xxx miles on it that had had a fair amount of work done to it. The breaks and suspension had been upgraded, new wheels, new radiator, bigger turbo, some changes in plumbing, etc.

Now first of all I'm a computer guy, so I can't even give you a real good list of what's in it. A lot of the work was done by the previous owner's mechanic who is mostly a Mini guy (though very well respected in that field), so the guy who's done the most recent work on it (Chuck Miller at Millersport Auto) is learning the car, as it were.

So I just got it back after my first big service (timing belt, water pump, oil cooler housing, some freshing to the PS rack, new oil pressure sending unit, new oil pressure relief valve, new balance belt, a bunch of seals, etc.) mainly for peace of mind, and then when Chuck had it he noticed some oil leaks to tighten up.

So now I think I just want to ahead and make it a happy car, so I'm looking at the other things to mess with, and one of them is the speedometer. It's off, likely because of the 18" wheels on her. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about fixing that?
