KMH to MPH

[5paul5]

The speedo in my eunos is still reading in KPH, i thought all clocks had to be changed to MPH on import ? Anyone know whats involved in changing them and how do i keep the same mileage reading ?

Converter dial

This replaces the dial card you already have. I've no idea how easy it is to fit - my Eunos already had one installed...

HTH.

ETA - My mileometer still reads in KM, but I don't find that a problem, it's easy to convert if you need to.
A while ago I imported a Suzuki motorbike from New Zealand, and there was a mechanical adaptor available to change the speed of the speedo cable to make it read in Imperial, without having to change the face plate of the speedo - such a thing might be available for the '5, but I don't know for sure. The problem with that though was that some of the overall mileage was recorded in Imperial and some in metric, which made working out the actual mileage a bit of a ball ache.

Cheers for that, not too bothered about the mileometer its the speedo i could do without so that seems to be the solution

My latest 5 has the aforementioned cable to convert from KPH to MPH so still has the Jap dials in place and the odometer and speedo is in miles. The replacement face idea is much better as you get to keep the km/h readings for if you take it to the continent.

If you have a really pedantic MOT tester they will fail it for not being marked in MPH and km/h. I mean REALLY pedantic, bureaucratic ... like the ones over here in NI. Strictly speaking any car bulit sine 1984 or something similar needs to have both on the dials but it's rarely enforced in mainland UK.
