Any aftermarket METRIC (km/h) cluster/speedo overlays?

Hi all,

Done a bit of googling and searching this site for aftermarket overlays for my speedo, but can't find any with km/h as the main unit of measure (not in tiny writing under mph)

Anyone know of a site?

Thanks

There's a guy that sells them on eBay Australia but they go up to 200kph instead of 180kph. If the cluster in your Corolla goes to 200kph from factory then they'll work fine, but if it goes to 180kph from factory then the reading will be inaccurate.

Here's the link:

Thanks for your reply.

My car is only upto 180km/h, so it doesn't really appeal to me. I'm actually hooked on this speedo, but yeah..the mph issue. Your link seems a little pricey compered to my one (almost double)..

However, the person on your link says he does custom designs - have you ever contacted him about this? Might ask him if he could design the one I like except with km/h..

No worries. Yeah having the mph speeds displayed would suck considering it'd be pointless in our countries.

Yep I emailed him about creating a custom one that goes to 180kph and also if he could remove the 'Security' and air-bag lights as my model doesn't have either of those. This was his response:

"Sorry for the very late reply.

I can remove the security and airbag lights, but unfortunately the 200kph speedo is the only one I have at this stage - if you currently have a 180kph speedo, this will not be accurate so I wouldn't recommend it.

Sorry I can't be more help otherwise.

Cheers,

Sam.
