i know pascal had his speedo in kilo's, but is it possible to just convert the kph to mph. in other words, if i used the indiglo gauges from brad noon, will the speedo read correctly?

Does this mean BNOON is selling indiglos in kph? Either way it sould make no difference as to which overlays you use. Just remember that your odometer is going to count in whichever fashion your car was designed to do in the first place.

The speedo counts up the same but to OD counts at a different rate. So if you were to swap faces. Visably you will be going the right speed but your odometer will tell a different tale.

mbb41 nailed it. But yes, the needle would "point" to the right speed once you have Brad's or any other overlays on there. I believe we have a Montreal CEGer with Indiglo guages and they now read MPH..
Nothing can "cure" the odometer though, although it's probably the same part, it's simply not spinning at the same speed in a CAN car vs a US one.. If you can divide by 1.6 it's not a problem though.
