Hello,

For my Sport Fury '70 that will be in France in few months, I'm looking for a metric speedometer.

I've already asked ! And here his reply :

I bought my metric speedometer from a dealer in Winnipeg who had purchased the stock of a couple of closing dealerships. He said the speedometer was stocked for cars scheduled for shipment to Europe. I've been watching for nearly 20 years an have never seen another. As it turned out I got this one when I bought a bunch of parts and the seller mentioned he had this one and was I interested.

there are very few out here. Those who exist were in factory export Furys in europe.

You might be able to re silk screen your speedo in km's, if all else fails.

Up here in the frozen North didnt go Metric until the mid to late 70's (Cars then came with primary metric speedo's about 77-78)... when we did and had an older car, the goverment had available stickers and instructions on where to put them on the Imperial speedo's! lol

If you simply silk-screen over the miles, the odometer will still read miles. It would need to be recalibrated.

SOMEbody, somewhere, has a box of them stickers and doesn't even know it.

What about Canada ?

Unfortunately Canada didn't change speed limits / adopt the metric system for speedometers until 1977.

Interestingly enough though, we bought our gas in (Imperial) gallons until 1981.

I had Instrument Specialties make up a silkscreen for a speedo rebuild. The designing of a new silk screen was like a hundred bucks.
If they had a silkscreen already done, the application was peanuts.
Google and call them to see if they already have done one.
