I had my speedometer repaired several years ago after it crashed. It's never been correct - exactly 10mph fast. Now it bugs me! My assumption is the repair place (no longer in business, big surprise) used the wrong gearing. Can someone tell me the correct gearing and where to buy parts for speedos? Many thanks

If its "10mph fast" at every speed - then the needle was reassembled in the wrong position (or, has shifted). Nothing to do with gearing.

If the error is proportional to speed - eg. +10mph at 60, +5mph at 30 - then its a gearing problem. Are you running stock rims and OE profile tires? If not, that will also need to be factored in if the gearing seems off....
