What is the best way to go about swapping a speedo from mph to kph? I've bought a UK import but the clocks need to change. -------------

Don't the dials just pull off?

Would a sticker with the conversions done not be a simpler solution or am I missing something? ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Thre is a kmh ring on the speedo, but its tiny - one of the worst I've seen.
Do you know how the NCT guys would view this? Have you changes dials on any UK stuff? -------------

Not been an issue on anything that I'm aware of. As long as there is a working speedo, afaik that's all that's tested for. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Irrelevant for an NCT - it that was the case all pre kmh speedos would fail. There's certainly no minimum size for the markings.... ------------- E34 Pilot - Keeping it Old School on Irish Roads.
