Miles/hr to KM/hr sticker

[Robin]

Does anyone know where to buy an overlay sticker for an early 911/914/912 speedo - to add km/hr markings. I see some internet discussion on them but cannot find a source.

Looking for a clear sticker to put over the gauge glass. Like in this picture.

Robin, you are in luck as I have one of these. I just have to find it. I acquired it from Roger Grago (RIP) who had a bunch made a while ago in California. Its a copy of the factory sticker which is long since NLA.
Let me see if I can dig it up and I'll let you know.

Brilliant. I am thinking I may be able to copy the one you have somehow - would others on the forum be interested in these? I have a 914/912 and 911 that are all in miles and would like a non-invasive way to show km/hr - guessing this may be of use to others?

Try Ringwood Speedos in Melbourne. They do refacing of the gauges as a different option

Good idea Robin. Many of us have the speedos that were current in Australia at the time (miles per hour) and a removable overlay preserves originality, yet helps for those who would like the current system.

I have a digital speedo app on my phone.... just as effective.

had to do something after being pinged twice in quick succession, for very minor transgressions.

Hi Phil - any luck finding this?

With speed cameras and point to point monitoring I have installed an app on my phone called GPS dash. With a couple of hair ties it mounts centrally on the stearing wheel when I need it. Its very accurate and I can still use google maps when necessary.

I must be missing something here- with only 3-4 speed limits in common use (40,60,80,100), surely it’s just a matter of remembering the equivalents in miles?

Am still looking as it wasnt where I thought it was. stored.

Yea the other option is to get a white marker and by calibrating with an iPhone app just put dots at 60,70,80,100 - but was thinking a nice looking overlay that does not involve any invasive gauge rebuilds would be a nice option to have.

i use an iphone app like others - i find that even once i convert from mi to km, the speedo is so wrong that i'm better off with a gps speedo.

also, does the sticker have any mis-reading issues caused by parallax from being mounted on the glass rather than the face of the dial?

Never a problem.
