speedo in kilometers

I have a 1984 Z-28 with a mechanical speedo. It has the dual guage (85mph/140kph). I would like to change it to a kilometer per hour guage that has a single needle. I am looking for something around 200 or better on the guage. I would accept miles per hour below it if necessary. I live in Australia and want to do this the right way and make it easier for me. Thanks for any help.

How high in kilometers does your speedo go? Is it in good condition? SAlso, if I do take it is that $60Canadian in total to air mail to me in Australia? Thanks for the reply. Ron

Sorry, but I was really looking for something to go to at least 200kms. I have a 145mph one that I might get an overlay for. I will ask around with the other club members to see if anyone would like it. Thanks anyway. Please send me the pics for me to show around. Ron email: yankeecarman@yahoo.com.au

was wondering what my speedometer went to and noticed it said 185 kmh
this is in my 84 Camaro.

If there is one that goes higher I might like that since my camaro has a 375 hp 350 engine in it.

after of course our camaro loving australian gets his first.
