Question VDO Speedo Question

My 1984 911 was originally imported to the US market. Has MPH over KMH. The car now lives in "metric" Canada. I want to replace with a KMH/MPH speedo. Anyone have one used?

I want to adjust the new speedo's odometer converted to match the "miles" on the original.

Idea's? can this be done? Suggestions???

I recently did this. I had a MPH speedo, but live in Ottawa and wanted a Kph speedo.

I found some someone on this BBS who was looking for a Mph speedo, so we swapped.

I opened them up, and set them to the corrected odometer readings. It isn't hard to do.

Hey KLF...if critter (Courtenay is just so dog-gone lovely!) can't help you, try:

They fixed up a club member's speedo with a new metric face and whatever else he needed. They are the VDO experts.

I will second the reccomendation for Palo Alto Speedometer, They converted my stock 85 MPH to 150. Only took a couple days. Came back looking like new.
