Cruiser speedo gear/recalibration

Post by sierrajim »

Before i go and spend $175 on a Marks adaptors recalibration unit is the a cheaper way to recal my speedo?

Its showing 100 when I'm actually running 109-110kph. I'd rather get it right, driving so many different cars the difference in actual speed shown is often overlooked.

Cheers

wow most cars i know of are the opposite, where it says your going faster than you actually are.

I thought i heard of a jay car unit which was supposed to have more adjustability than the marks unit. but not 100% sure.

They must be running smaller tyres.

Mine shows 100kph and by the GPS i am doing 109kph 315/75/16 tyres.

There is a place in Ringwood called Ringwood Speedometer Service, they might be cheaper
