300 km/h speedo
Looking for a metric speedometer for an 87 S4
I live in Canada and would like to have a speedo that reads in km/h only. If anyone has one they want to part with please let me know.

DAN!
When you find one of these....let me know!
-In the early 1980's when I was a little kid in school, they taught us the metric system first and the English system second. I still prefer things metric-
I mean it just makes more sense! I like the foot better than the meter, as most things measured in feet are things around the house, and this is a more convenient measure. Funny thing: when I lived in Puerto Rico [US Territory....] I bought gas for my FIAT spyder in liters.
[even odder was the driving in St. Croix [also a US Territory], where they drive on the left like the UK...]
My car was originally built for use in Austria; It was federalized in 1985, and the speedometer was changed. My instrument panel still reads in German ["Bremsflussigkeit", "Kuhl-W", "Begrenzungslicht" among others...]but I have been after an original or reproduction metric speedometer since! I've called one of the big three and asked if they had access to one, and they never do.
My significant other is in Belgium, so I'm used to metric speeds and can convert easily.
Please post when you work something out!

Wow,
I sold the 270KPH only out of my shark 4 weeks ago for $40.00 on ebay (dead OD gear).
Hmmmm....timing is everything.
I have mine registered in California now and the Canadian speedo had to go.
Keep watching ebay.
Sorry this wasn't threaded sooner.
Cheers
