Gauges Swap - VDO Rev counter for Smiths clock

Post by Attack2001 » 13 Jun 2012 03:42 pm

Hi all, i need another set of smiths dials with a clock as i've just acquired a set of smiths rev counter clocks and would like to use the milometer to correct the mileage in the new clocks. If you've got a set of smiths dails with a clock and would like a rev counter, i have a set of VDO dials with everything functioning, if you would like to do a straight swap, you pay the postage :wink: then thats good with me :D

You've confused me (not hard)

Why don't you just use care and cunning and set the mileage on the Smiths speedo?

Is there a guide somewhere. There might be one, but I CBA'd looking for it as I've got a tumble dryer that's in the shed wanting looking at.

Did you not have a Smiths speedo at the very beginning?
