While I agree that Tony's speedo repair article is very good; if you are
contemplating a change in speedo calibration, the easiest and best method IMO is
to get a "ratio adapter" made up to suit your circumstances. As you can see by
reading Tony's article, it's a difficult matter to change the calibration (as
opposed to restoring the original calibration).
It's been a few years ago, but I was quoted $100 by a local speedo shop to have
any ratio I wanted. Subsequent changes can be made by just swapping out gears
in the box, so only cost $40.
All of the rebuilders I talked to refused to change the calibration. They would
only restore "as original".
