Anybody ever even SEE a km speedo guage over there? Is there perhaps a sticker to put on the MPH guage face?

Yes you can get a KM speedo they come up for sale here and on the pelicnparts board, also you can use a 911 KM mechanical speedo.
Not rare, but there's not a whole lot of them out there.
Expect to pay $300-$400 for one.

BTW watch out for scammers in a WTB ad, one way to avoid scams is to only buy off of members with a high post count.

Good luck.

The gauge rebuilders like North Hollywood speedometer service ca probably rebuild a speedo with a KM face. They are not cheap.

Heres an article on Pelican how to change the face. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/mult_gauge_face/mult_gauge_face2.htm

And here is a vendor that will silk screen a plate- http://www.paspeedo.com/porschecustomcoloring.htm

You may want to search for "Porsche gauge plates"

Try Ebay Germany also

Mine just came back from North Hollywood and I am very pleased. I have sent other gauges to them for various work and I think their pricing is fair. They can put any face you want on the gauge.

Cool. Thanks. I could trade the MPH one perhaps.

Du bist in München und suchst in US einen km/h Tacho.
Wie blöd ist das denn?
In D gibt es in deinen Augen wohl keine 914 Szene
bzw. Porsche Ersatzteile.

Sorry Guys must answer in German because we have no
Porsche's in Germany and only a few 914's
with a VW-Porsche Badge.

The car I'm working on is in CA. I don't feel like changing or installing the odometer myself when the car arrives. Not sure how to take your "Wie blöd ist des denn?" I could ask the same of your question, but I guess you meant it in good humor.

At any rate, there IS, indeed, all but no 914 "scene" over here.

P.S. Your link in your signature is a 404. Wie blöd ist DAS denn??

I have a very nice KMH speedo in working condition.

Posted by: MrLeeS May 7 2014, 07:11 PM

Found it, everything works, excellent face, bezel needs a sand and paint.
