Subject:Re: odometer and trip-odometer stopped

I've been buying used spedos for about 10$ out of wrecking yards for the
last seven years. Some have had 65K on them and some had 276K on them but
you can't beat the price.
Most spedo shops want 35$ to just take a look and give you a 120$
estimate.
To match your spedo refer to the little number right above the trip meter
set, mine says 806 and with Michlein 14x185c tires it reads true at 60
MPH.
Some spedos have threaded connector to the cable and some have plastic
clips so you also need to match that aspect.
