Anyone ever try something like this???

Dad was telling me of a local guy that used to build something like this, but he couldn't find the guy.

I'm running bigger tires, and different gears, and this would be easier than tearing into the tranny...

Part #54RA & #54A2

EDIT: I guess they're on ebay too...

Don't bother wasting money on guesswork. Try out these guys...

United Speedometer Service

I used them when I needed to correct my speedo when I changed to 3:42 gears. Cost me less than 100 bucks and they made it really easy to get an exact correction. Was an easy install too.

They'll actually call you back too. THey hand build the units.
Also check out their page on how to figure out how far off your speedo is here..Speedo correction

Happy
