Default 200 mph speedometer HELP!

need the memberships help with any information on the post i did in 2002. i sent my 1981 original speedometer head to a wonderful place in florida, and the shop returned it to me with a 200 mph speedometer face on it along with the head recalibrated so it would register correct mph. it was only the second time he had ever done the conversion, and the total cost including shipping was less than $100.00. there was even a picture of the new face with the post. i never kept the information, as i thought it would alway be available here, and now another '85mph challenged' owner asked me where it got it. several members were going to have theirs done also, so if anyone has the old post, or the web site or any information, i would appreciate it.

ciao, conedude

Default 240 MPH speedometer!!!

they say the memory is the first to go, but the excellent site gave me related threads that i was unable to access any other way. here it is if anyone else wants a very special accessory instead of the run-of-the-mill 165 mph or 140 mph speedometers for their corvette.

conedude,

I didn't see any photo references in any of the text of the thread you referenced, nor do I see any reference to any photo's being deleted. I did find a photo at the site you referenced. It's not the photo, but it is from their website

The search feature still works just not from the Control Panel. Here are all your posts. I don't know why the other didn't work and haven't heard back from my inquiry. I'll let you know when I hear something.
