Hi Folks

My current speedometer had a face in MPH but was sratched out and
roughly painted with black paint, the inner ring is in KPH (which I need for
Australian roads),the odometer stopped working and the needle had been
damaged & bent.I had tried to straighten it using a small spoon but despite
being extra carefull it snapped.I cannot seem to find any speedometer parts
for sale.Options are
A: Buy a used 560 one in KPH (found just one and they want $400 AUD
more than double a 420 one)
B: Buy new aftermarket faces/dials for all the gauges and get repaires
done.
C: Buy a 420/380/500 ($195/$175 AUD)one that only goes to 240kph (so non
original)and use adjustment device from Dakota Digital ($ 70 US +$70 US
Postage)
Any sugestions gratefully received.

Kind Regards Dan
1986 560SEC Euro (220kw)
