Z Speedometer

280Z speedometer fits in the 1200 dash cluster.

1. Swap the mounting cups as the 280Z unit is deeper
2. Drill a hole for the trip meter shaft through the back
3. The face is to large for the opening in the 1200 housing, so carefully reduce the diameter by 1/8 inch

350Z speedometer looks a similar size.
