Carl Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I have just swapped my Yellow dials for a set of black ones as I have bought a Elliot Tacho and gone down the mechanical oil pressure gauge route, both of which are black. I need to wind back the mileage on the Black Speedo by about 3k miles to the mileage that my original speedo had on it. Anyone know how to do this?

Casbar Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 You could always leave it disconnected until you have done 3k and caught up Stick a bike speedo on to monitor mileage and speed - just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 That'd be my recomendation too. Project Scope-Creep is live... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Not a bad idea until you crash the car and the insurance company realise the speedo is not connected or the police clock you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Carl, the requirement is to have a mechanism by which your speed and distance is recorded. A bike speedo will suffice for this (so long as it is lit). You can get your car through the SVA with the bike speedo. If you want to be really conscientious, ensure you have the exising speedo at home, and make sure you keep all your MOT certificates. You may also want to notify your insurance company if you are on a limited mileage insurance policy (they'll probably ignore it, but at least you can prove you've shown due diligence). Personally, I think giving details of how to clock Caterham speedos on a public Caterham forum would be a bit irresponsible. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1400 Supersport with 6 gears and clamshell wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Point taken but this is a genuine case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Clocking a speedo is not legal either, even turning it back, you are not supposed to tamper with it in any way Once its been tampered with, when you sell the car, who's to say what the correct reading is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
