DSC working OK - but dial U/S !

FINALLY got Pete Betts box's on and working today ! ! !

 

FIRST TIME I've got it up to 130/135 - YES ! !

 

SO I'm happy Delimiter works (well, up to 135 at least ! we'll see *)

{ * holiday traffic/M25/some brain cells left ! }

 

BUT, the speedo face was 0-112 MPH with small/inner dial of

0-180 KM/H.

 

SO, I've blacked-out 'K' so inner dial is OK-ish but very tiny...

 

I've also 'inked'-out figures on outer scale and just 'tipexed-in'

" 40, 80, 120, 160 " because they are exactly in-line with lines

on inner scale (8/5ths of 25, 50, 75, 100 !)

(and was already saying "MPH" so thats OK)

 

However, NOW, while driving the dial looks awful

(only to be expected !) BUT, also, outer scale is REALLY

confusing (no 30, 70 lines !). and the inner one is just TOO small.

 

Anybody got a 0-180 face in EITHER KM/H or MPH ? ?

 

If I got a scan/photo of one I'd try making one up, temporary.

It's EASY to print out face on thin paper (so light comes through lines !)

The hard bit is to get the lines in right PLACES !

[ a good/clear/closeup digital photo would be perfect ! ! ]

 

I CAN cut mine off first and use that - but, that means being

without if it all goes T*TS-UP,

 

If anyones got one, could I have a pic/scan ? ? ?

 

{ ........I'm thinking 'Sky-Blue' with Italic numerals.........:p }

 

 

ps. what's the legalality-aspect of:

 

a) recalibrating your own speedo sender (which is what we are doing !)

 

b) NON-manufacturer faces (I know I'm trying to make my own

but that's all the pattern people do REALLY !)

 

? ? ? ? ? ?
