I was sent a speedo converter by one MR Ambo,
& that's the Dirty D doing 110kphs & not 110mpls, haha....
For those playing at home the co, pilot is holding the phone.
But on a serious note I had spent bit of time to make sure that the speedo was to being close to right with the big 15" tyres & as it the turns out it's spot on with the GPS test.

good idea..is it fairly accurate across the speed range?...What's it going to do to your mileage on the odometer..? Doesn't matter if no history..but if genuinely traceable to documents you don't want to unnecessarily add miles to the clock...

Well it's accurate as I already had the speedo spot on in miles to a trimatic, 3.36 & 225 60 15's as these are taller than my other tyres 185 80 13's & the speedo will read slightly over with the smaller tyres.
As for the milage it turn over at a faster rate but it ain't an iss for me.
P.S this was tested with my Navman GPS.

Short story long....

Big fella (Al) was working at a local historical property a while back. I visited the property 30+ years ago, so I sent him pics of the place how it looked back then. The pics were all taken on my Box Brownie.. I still have it, and the pics. True story.

I wish someone reproduced those, doesn't seem to be many of them around, I've only ever found NOS ones that have the wrong size fittings on them for most Holdens.

I have a NOS one in the packet. I can't load pics on my computer, maybe Shanebo can do it for me? It shows the models it fits. It may not help, but still interesting..
