Makes the speedo more accurate by the way. >>
Mark, I believe Cary only needed the speedo face anyway. So as long as the face can be overlayed onto the original and the markings are of the same increments, the mechanicals would not make any difference. BenT <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html">Vanagon Cafe</A> |
