    All,
    Am looking to replace my emergency break handle cover with one that looks as close to possible as original. IE: don't want carbon fiber etc.
    I have looked on many sites and cannot find this item. Ideas?
    Also, Just curious whether it is common to replace the 85 MPH speedometer with a speedometer that reads all the way up and if you have any recommendations for where to get one of those. Sorry if this retreading the same old ground.
    Thanks for your help!

    Welcome, man!

    What part of MS??

    Do you mean the plastic cover on the end on the handle? Or the leather boot (sewn into the console) at the base? Try Ricambi or TRutlands and if not there go to Ferrari UK in England......

    As to the speedo yes the units can be swapped, the old ones like mine go to 180MPH, but you may check with the famous Palo Alto Speedo about swapping the face to a different one...

    HTH

    By the way, it's "brake", not "break" handle... if you search on eBay or whatever, you'll need to know how to spell it!

    I just replaced my 85 MPH speedo with one that Tim Standford of Tim Stanford Foriegn Cars in Ft. Lauderdale sold me. My exisiting speedo was reading 10 MPH below and the mounting bolt surface was cracked, so Tim sent both his 180 MPH and my exisitng 85 MPH to Palo Alto and they decided to set the mileage on the 180 to my exisiting mileage of 29K or so and also checked out the speedo. I love having the 180 MPH in the car, how stupid is it to have a 85 MPH speedo in a Ferrari that goes 140 MPH. Good luck trying to find one, I looked for a long time to find a decent deal. My cost uninstalled with the Palo Alto service charge was about $500.00
