Soon to be fitted (once I've got a 20K resistor and re-calibrated them)

 

Anyone else got these????

160mph???

nice one buddy.

us clocks eigh.

160mph???

 

That's why I need the 20k resistor ;)

very nice!!

Ah-HA!!

 

Good thinking!!

are the original clocks jap spec then. do you know the resister to conver jap to uk 180 mph bud? i thought it was 22k for uk but am not sure.

Yeah the original clocks were J-spec (cheers to Slick Pete :bow: ).

 

I'm led to believe thet either a 20K or 22K resistor will give the required range for re-calibration in conjunction with the existing potentiometer.

I think Andyz was selling similar dials very nice indeed.

im going for the 120mph speedo face on mine rather than a conversion chip.

Could you leave the normal bulbs in place behind the clocks so that they would illuminate the needles? Just a thought.

That's exactly what I'll be doing - I just illuminated the gauges on the bench in workshops and didn't bother powering the original bulbs.

:D

Is it possible to get UK clocks to be accurate with a 160mph max like those dials have?

Not sure mate. You would have to try adjusting the pot on the speedo PCB, whilst driving, with an accurate GPS readout for comparison

Try a search on speedo and re-calibration etc.

:eek: That's just got danger written all over it, my sig might not be as flippant as I wanted it to be :rofl:

I have just bought some from Ebay £20. and was wondering how to sort the 160MPH thing out? I was goin g to try and buy some US clocks and just stick them in. :rofl: 20K resistor????? Maplins it is then any info you have Liegh would be gratefully accepted mate.

look awesome bud, i STILL havnt got round to fitting mine :headvswal

Well pull yer bl00dy finger out and get going then :slap: :rofl:

The clocks are just like my mates Honda Accord. I really like them, great at night as your pic shows.

couldn't recommend the ebayer could you??

Be very careful when removing the needle pointers. If the shaft comes out of the galvo at all then you may as well bin them as I had to :headvswal

 

The best way is to grip the steel shaft with some narrow needle nose pliers then prise the pointer off with a knife or something. It may be best to get someone to help you out as it's not easy!

There was no need to remove the pointers :D :hyper:
