Speedo swap

[lrmaniac]

Hi

If I wanted to change, at a later time, the speedometer from mph to kmh what do I need?

Just the speedo, just the cable? Are there special speedos for 900 tyres or special cables, or a special adaptor somewhere? Or anything else?

Thanks

There are different speedos for Series Land Rovers and 1 Tons.

But the outer scale shows MPH and the inner shows KM/H. Why do you want to change?

A britsh vehicle with MPH speedo looks very nice.

Earlier series vehicles do not normally have both scales, for example SEB only has MPH as does the cherrypicker. I suspect Joao-Pedros FC is the same.

You would only need to change the head, the cable and everything else remains the same. But where to find a KPH speedo suitable for 900-16 tyres?

My speedo only shows mph.

I don't think I'll have to change it. I'm convinced that it will pass MOT ...

It doesn't bother me...and if I'm not forced to change it, I'll keep it for now...

but since its a LHD, I'm used to see a Kmh speedo in front of me!

Since it's just the speedo on the dash, Where to find them?

Well, that was something I was hoping you could tell me!, since LR with 9.00/16 tyres over here are quite rare!

Mine is an early SIIA, petrol...the speedo does not have the oil pressure/main beam/cold start lights on the speedo!

Part number is/was 520298->might have been replaced later for another number?

And those are obscene prices!

So unless I find one on ebay will be very dificult?

All SIIa from 1968 onwards should have the speedo with the three lamps and all 1-tons are from the late era. Maybe someone made an exchange in the past.

Ah, but mine is 63 Forward Control

Aah okay, I didn't notice that, sorry.
Quite difficult to find one with km/h scale on.
