Needed: a speedo like this one!
 

My Carrera has a kph speedo and I'd like an mph one in the same style –
like this, with the 180mph at bottom (cable-drive, 915 trans etc.):

Can anyone help? Can anyone confirm what year/model they were fitted to?

Yeah I'm in the same boat as you.
160k is a ton, 200 is 120mph and 240kph on the M40 is just madness. :eek:
Better get me one of those speedos while I still have a licence.

PS is that an adjustable redline on the revcounter, or a sticker?

since the speedo on the pic does not have the silver center, I believe it was a post-'75 or '76 non-mechanical item that came with the SC and 3.2 cars.

Print out that picture, remove your speedometer and send both to a VDO repair place. Palo Alto speedometer and North Hollywood speedo should both be able to do this. There must be someone who does the same thing in the UK.

That looks like a special unit ,my carrera speedo only goes to 160mph .

I have one that came out of my 74 914...go figure! i posted it a while back to figure out which cars it came in. heres link to my old post. the member IROC said he had an extra one...

I may have one out of a 74 911. I'll have a look for it tomorrow, it is definately cable drive.

FWIW

I have a mph speedo in my car and would like a kph one to replace it. My car is a 1978 California delivered 911 SC. The mph speedo is not as pictured, although I can't honestly tell you what it look like since I don't look at it that often.

I wonder if it would be a straight swap?

Let me know if you're interested in a trade - I can get a pic. Oh yeah..the trip ododmeter is broken, but the total ododmeter is ok.

cheers

For those of you that just want to make your 85mph speedo or kph speedo a mph speedo like was standard on many of the cars (the above wasn't standard on any regular 911s, I don't think) you can send your speedo to Palo Alto Speedo or North Hollywood Speedo and they will make your gauges look like the normal 911 mph speedo. I think most of those topped out at 160 since most 911's were geared and had redlines that only put them at about 145-155.

I suppose some of the turbo's might have had speedos that went higher, but I don't think the tachs did.

I have this set in my car.

That's a ST tach with a RS speedo. Hard to find but they are out there.

I have a 75 with the mechanical 180 speedo in mine. Works fine!

Keith - I have a brand new one.
