Probably a stupid question, but here goes.....

Post by Julesholling »

Just bought myself an NC30 and the speedo is the original KPH one with a sticker over the top saying MPH. Not the normal sticker with the MPH numbers on it, litterally a small square over the KPH letters on the right of the dial saying MPH. Thing is it has also got a mecahnical KPH to MPH adapter fitted at the back of the speedo. I found a pic of what it looks like here http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s66/ ... 501839.jpg

My question is that even with this adapter fitted will i still need a new sticker for the clocks so the speed reads correctly in MPH? Or does this convertor change the reading so a new face or overlay is not needed and the speedo now reads in MPH?

I know that is probably a stupid question but the more i think about it the more i get confused!!

The convertor 'converts' the reading to now be correct as per the dial. Not a stupid question. The overlay stickers just mean you don't need to fork out for the convertor.
Good choice made on the 30 though! :up:

The only thing with these is that your mileage on the odometer wont be accurate anymore as X amount of distance will have been recorded in KM and the rest in Miles, so if it says 30,000KM on the odometer it could actually be 45k etc etc.
