Default clocks???????????

have a puzzler here and dont know how to get round it??

here goes my type r has kph 260 or what ever it is but according to the guys i got it off it reads in mph ie 30 is 30mph and not kph and so forth anyway what i dont get is i have some lockwood white dials which read mph 180 max but 30 on the face is a lot higher up on the mph than it is on the kph so looking at the clocks if i fit the 180mph ones to do 30 looking at them against the kph i would have to do around 45?? so how do i get round this or can i not????

Do you know if the speed is correct at 30 on your clocks?

Is your car 97 or earlier? if it is then there should be a kmh to mph convertor on the speedo cable.

If your car is reading the speed okay then you need a set of dials that match your existing set.

My last car was a prelude import the speedo read in KPH, l kept it reading this way and fitted a dial kit that showed in MPH, sorry if lm being thick, are you saying a previous owner has fitted a module to convert to MPH? lf so you could do as l did, you would need to convert back to KPH and get dial faces that take this into account.
