Davep1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just bought one of these - perfect - its graduated to 120 Km/h but if you enter the No of pulses per mile rather than pulses per Km, it obviously reads in mph. Just blank out the kmh with a black sticker. 80mm diameter. I got mine for £20 plus post - try it you might be lucky as well! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vdo-Digital-Speedometer-Km-Truck-Boat-/181294816580?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CommercialVehicleParts_SM&hash=item2a36035d44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That's cheap, good idea about blanking out the Km reading. There was a couple of members looking for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davep1 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just finished fitting mine, with sensor off the propshaft, and road tested it (in the rain!) Very pleased with it, and came c/w mounting plates and bulbholders etc. Need to get the calibration instructions off the net though. See here.. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CD0QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vdo-gauges.com%2Fmedia%2Finstructions%2F0%2520515%2520012%2520051%2520--%2520Programmable%2520Speedometer©.pdf&ei=nQLgUsyNIPPa0QX5s4CQBw&usg=AFQjCNHSu5TPKwrDQT6wdKaJtJOIjOdYxw&sig2=7BaSKOpdg-9l3N3BTpy-wQ&bvm=bv.59568121,d.d2k Even at £45 its a bargain!!

SootySport Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I calibrated mine using the measured mile method, very easy to do. Just have to measure the mile accurately though, I used a straight road and 3 different newish vehicles odometers to set markers on the road, they were surprisingly accurate and all measured a mile with 5 metres of each other, just took the mean average distance of the 3.

Just following the example given... but yeah, even at £45 they are an absolute steal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davep1 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Probably the reason I got mine for £20 was that he put one up for auction with a starting bid of £20 - and no other bidders! Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ah ok... Well, still no word (why not just decline the offer?!?) so once the offer expires, I may as well up the ante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrophyJem Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ah ok... Well, still no word (why not just decline the offer?!?) so once the offer expires, I may as well up the ante I don't think he's checked his ebay since. I asked the question of what size it was not having read the first properly and have not had an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
