speedos cannot be "adjusted" easily as they are all gear driven so they are fixed ratios.
if the original speedo is going to be kept then you have to get an intermediate gearbox made up to give the new gear ratio from the cable to the speedo.
Howard instruments 110 northern road heidelberg can help you
there is also a speedo place in ringwood that would probably be able to help... but dont know their name... left hand side of maroondah highway as you head down the hill into ringwood.. entry via service lane.
hth.

see.... air and water do mix 😉

It'll cost about $150 to "recalibrate" it with a special little gearbox, I was told by the folks in Ringwood.

drive beside another car at 60km - when you're both at the same speed mark where 60km is and then go get a $2 km/h sticker from a retail outlet and stick it on.....
