This is on topic and something I was talking about to somebody earlier
today. Since 2wd speedos are relatively plentiful, why not a ratio
box. Or get a speedo shop like Palo Alto Speedometer to regear a 2wd.
Some months ago, Jeff Schwaia mentioned using them. They not only redo
the ratios, they also silkcreened over the KPH face with a MPH
version. Wasn't cheap though. Last I heard, it was $200+.
