MPH to KPH Speedometer Face

I had North Hollywood Speedometer add a MPH scale to a car that had it's speedo in KM/H. Instead of changing the face totally, why not just add the smaller scale?

Here's what mine looked like.

Here's what mine looks like. It's a 85 308 euro. The odometer reads in km. Mine stops working after 15 to 20 minutes of driving. After it cools down it works again. It my bounce a few times before stopping. It always drops to 20. Lets see want yours looks like.

I have an 84 Euro GTS QV, but it's UK spec so my speedo has the MPH outer scale and odometer in miles. I'd love to switch to a Euro face and odo in km speedometer, as Canada used km/h for speed limits and distances.

If anybody with a km/h and km QV speedometer wants to trade for a MPH/miles speedometer, I'd be interested!

For alfaron, the speedo face switch on gray market Euro 308s was pretty common when they were 'federalized', so the face switch back to km/h wouldn't be bad - if you can find the face! I heard that Palo Alto Speedometers did a bunch of the conversions and actually had their own MPH face made up, but didn't keep the km/h faces that came off, so they don't have any available. (I would love to be corrected on that point)

 

I have the same issue. 85 Euro QV with odometer in km and speedo face in miles. I took mine down to Palo Alto Speedometer and they looked at it and said it had a screen print over the original. They used to get them sent to them back in the day for gray market cars all the time. It was much cheaper than buying a new speedo. Unfortunately they don't have the images to change them back. They suggested buying a broken euro speedo and they would exchange the faceplate.

Eurospares sells a KM faceplate for GBP195.
Cheaper than finding a used KM speedo (which can be several hundred bucks, closer to a thousand).

Everything Alfa is also selling them on ebay for around USD150.

Hi Dave,

If you have not seen it, you may want to have a close look at this thread:

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328-sponsored-yellow-compass-group/419560-308-speedo-repair-rebuild.html

There is a lot in there about converting from kph to mph, etc.

Best,

John.

 

Thanks John, I just read that thread a couple of nights ago. I'm going to check my sender first as soon as I fix that nasty heater hose that just broke from the engine to the heater control valves in the front. I have a lot of different things I want to fix. Thanks to all you on this form, I have already fixed a lot of things.

 

My 82 Euro looks identical to this one. I like the gauges this way.
