#1 Aftermarket speedometer
blindman Posted on: 2005/8/9 20:41
Has anyone used an aftermarket speedometer in their car? I want to get some new gauges from like Autometer or VDO, but I want them all to match. I don't know if any of the mechanical ones will work, and I don't know if you can get any of the electonic ones to work either. Anyone done this before?

I have a 5" Sportcomp speedo and the stock speedometer cable screws right on.
I believe the .104" sq end on the cable is a standard size.
It will read wrong, though.
Good luck.

I've got all the origional Smiths instruments in my Sprite hooked up my A12 - and gauges don't come much more mechanical than that. It all works fine and has done for 5 odd years now. A bit of work was involved but nothing too hard at all... I'd imagine replacing your instruments with a VDO set would be pretty easy.

Whatever you do tell us how it all works out.

VDO speedo in a coupe dash with a 10000rpm tach as well

VDO have some really nice ones but you need to find some one who has a good range like a speedo service that recalibate them. Its much easyer if the guy selling them actually knows how to fit them
