Can't See MPH on Speedo Easy Fix By Alleyoop (Read 740 times)

My Speedo is mechanical and it has KM/H on the Outside in Big numbers and MPH inside in small Blue Numbers, It is very accurate to my surprise. But you cannot see the numbers in the Daylight and I do not drive at night.

So on the Computer entered numbers from 0 to6 representing 0 to 60mph. I tried different colored numbers and black numbers on white worked best you can see them. Printed them out on white DECAL paper and cut each number out with a point. Then I just put each number starting from 0 to 60 mph indicated by a single digit on the outside Plastic cover. Works great now I know how fast I am going with just a quick look.

Here you can see the numbers 50mph is straight up.

Clever!! I have the same problem with both my TGB Deliverys when the sun hits the glass
covers of the instruments.

Way to go Al! The MS3-250's have the same setup and it's definitely a pain.

Hey, AlleyOop:nJust retread your post. You print the numbers out on white paper
and then posiytion them on the outside of the glass cover for the speedometer. Question: What kind of paper and how do you get it to stay on? Enquiring quirky minds want to
know!!!

Wolfhound,
Sorry, I modified it but anyway Its DECAL PAPER, you can get sheets Office Depot or probably any computer store.
