You can do this 1 of 2 ways, easy option is to cover the k of kmh so it looks like m/h and as long as it had the mechnanical convertor on the gearbox it will read as mph.
Hard option is to use a clock face from a uk car so you get a true mph face but you will still need to make sure it has the mechanical speedo convertor.

The convertor can be had for about £60 off ebay
