Re: [DML] Factory 170mph speedo??

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

Darren / List ,
I KNOW of about 25 Speedo's with 140 mph (on the RHD cars) and a couple
with the kilometre equivalent..
.I Think the other 160 / 170 mph was simply a conversion..i.e. doubling
up..or halving, modifications to the internals and adding a re-calibrated
face.

But I sure some one on the list knows for sure.
