[W126 Coupe] Speedometer Problem

[Axel Wulff]

I'm with Markus, but if you decide on getting the 420 speedometer, you can add a Dakota Digital SG-5 to make it show correct speed.

Why not buy a 560 one in MPH/KPH?

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.
