Speedo conversion to kph.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lobo:
Thanks all for your inputs... amazingly I’ve since located a ratty K2 KPH speedo not far away from me here in QLD at £145 or thereabouts. I’m considering it, but as Seamus pointed out, the face does look a bit bloody cluttered. Thanks also Bryan, Davo & Cooler - appreciated.

bobv7:
There are mechanical drives on the market that change KPH to MPH so maybe there are some that do the reverse?

Lobo:
...thanks Bob; never come across these before.

Tbh though, I can’t see it working, as presumably it factors the output shaft (eg) to 62% of input when converting kph to mph.
Fine for the odometer.... but the speed needle will then only read 62% of full scale... meaning you’d need a very non-standard face plate?

And admittedly I should have thought of this before asking whether it was a simple speedo drive part change. Doh!

Cheers,
Simon.

Hi Lobo,
Did you get sorted? Sorry, only just seen this thread, I've not visited the forum for a while. I have a decent K2 speedo in  kph that I'm not using.

Lobo:
Hey Crispy,
Kind of you - thanks. In the end I took a punt and bought the £145 (260AUD) one off local eBay - it seems in good internal condition. To keep it a matched pair I’ll transfer it’s innards over to my casing using Lecram’s KPH face. (my RPM is also LECRAMs face)
Much appreciated, thanks again for the offer.
Simon.
