help with whiteface gauges

Ok so here's my problem; I want them and have no problem paying for some, but I'm from Canada, and thus have a KPH speedometer, and metric gauges. I can't find anyone who has a set of metric gauges for a '86 Friebird V6. Does anyone know of anyone who sells these? Thanks.

I am not sure I might be able to whip you out one, take a good pic of yours & post it, I will see what I can do. might be able to guess to get it right.

The only stipulation is you have to have the electronic controlled speedo. I am not sure about the mechanical models.
