Is it best to convert the speedo via a convertor box or speedo dial?

[Matt.Wild]

Collecting my RX7 tomorrow but its still in KM/H.  Obviously I need this rectifying but what is best, a convertor box cable jobbie or a replacement speedo dial?

Also, I take it will be limited to 110 mph?  Again, I take it that its another conversion i\'ll need to do?

Ta :wave

If you use a converter, the speed limiter will be raised to 180mph (which should do the trick)

It\'s also quite a bit cheaper

How much is that gizmo?

I think it was about £45 or so. It\'s not that bad to fit yourself if you\'re ok with a bit of snipping and soldering

Cheers - instructions anywhere?

I ended up working it out from the wiring diagram in the FD workshop manual. I\'ll have a quick look now

no joy. The unit does come with FD specific instructions if you ask for them but I can\'t find my copy.
If you follow the instructions they give you for AC speed signals (as opposed to 5/12v DC), you\'ll be ok
