lol - SKC aint had a "working" speedo for about 4 years

Speedo is not required for MOT

And as it is my responsibility to ensure I do not go faster than the speed limit I will be using Tom Tom !

No probs John

Glad u finally registered on here

For your information I have had to do a very small acceptible amount of "fettling" and backing panel fits great to original housing.

When I have received the warning lamps from Demon Tweeks I will post more pics to show the completed dash

i thought that at max revs the needle should be vertical :confused:

surely you need to turn it another 90 degrees to the right ;)

apart from that, it looks ace :cool:

As an MOT tester I can confirm NO speedo or odometer is required for a class IV (car) MOT

I will need to do something like this in my mk2, got the same carbon pod as you etc.

I know this is a bit off topic but were you the lad I spoke to at the lakes about those BM drivers? lol....we were stuck behind one for a bit on the tour! lol
