That numbering is the gearing. So what you need to go is use the 1lt bits (all of them)

Edit, just use the Gearset for the 1810 speedo and clock it to the correct milage,

Correcting the mileage, depending on how much needs to be done, i'd get a drill and clamp the end of the speedo cable up in the chuck. then run the drill up and keep an eye on the speedo, run it at whatever the max is still on the gauge so you're not in any danger of breaking anything. It might take a while so if you can lock the drill off at a certain speed then you're set :)

^ screw that, you'll be at it for hours.

You can simple take the clock part and roll the numbers around to correct the miles from the old clocks.

Andrew, you need to every everything you had in it at the start (1lt stuff) and just use the better clocks housings. Taking the needle off can knock the speedo reading out too.

thank you both for your replies, i did the latter and just took em apart to match the mileage to my previous clocks, was actually really simple :D, also just a general question, how do i go about making a new forum post? do i have to have been a member for a certain amount of time or something cause i cant see where or how to do it anywhere :confused: i dont even know how i set my profile pic on here lol :tard:
