Default speedo conversion?

Hi!
I have tryed to find the converter from km to mph.
There is no one on the gearbox and nothing behind the odo.
Have follow the cables but couldnīt find anything.
Te car is a sti type r -00 v6 and has been in UK since nearly new.

Any other things you do in Uk to make them read in miles ?
I have to take it away as we have KM/h in Sweden.

Over here you can buy clock faces to convert from km to mph,cant you buy the opposite in your country,then you have the best of both worlds

FIND IT atlast .
It was a switch placed before a little box . the box was placed in the car and it donīt really lookes like guine subaru part.
Any way the switch can be used for both MPH or KMH.
Donīt really know how to take all of it out.
