Hi Brenton/Sonia,
Basically as the title says.
I replaced my dials, but the speed dial needs recalibrating. :angry:

Phil there is a firm at Lonsdale that recalibrates and checks guages, I can try and find out who they are or try the Yellow pages. My brother-inlaws workshop uses them. Good work and Cheap.
Cheers dude

Thanks Daz. Having trouble working out what speed I'm doing. When it syas 60, I'm sure I'm only doing about 40. But then again, I'm not sure... :rolleyes:
And Chris, that is really really really fast!

2,000 RPM in 4th is 60 for our gearing (assuming your tacho works :D )

Don't take this the wrong way but... unless you've done something wrong the gauges should read correctly.
They (gauges) take their que from a speed pulse IIRC, so even if you go from a 8K tach to the 10K tach, or 180kmh speedo to 320kmh speedo shouldn't make a difference.
Unless you've done something mechanical (i.e. larger/smaller wheels, gearing, messed with the gauge) I can't see why they would be out.
That's just my $0.02 worth :)

Hi Phil, Sorry for the delay...
If your speedo is out the same amount in km's right through the range, we can recalibrate it when we dyno it - i.e if it's always 20 km under reading: 60 reads 40, 100 reads 80, 300 reads 280 etc.. we can deal with it.
If 60 reads 40, 100 reads 95.. then there's likely that it's a problem rather than a calibration issue.
Catchya soon :D
Sonia :bye:
ps to all...I'm only in the office 2 days a week atm, so if you queries are urgent, you might need to ring the workshop (and leave a message!)

My 60 seems to be about 55... not sure why, but I'm gonna look to get that fixed up soon too. :)
