Gauge faces

I'm looking at replacing my gauge faces. I currently have a 85mph speedometer, I was wondering if I bought this kit, would it throw off my speedometer readings??? Has anyone used these before??

Re: Gauge faces

Depends, look at where your 85 mph mark currently is. The new gauge face appears to have 85 mph just a little ways past 12:00, if your current speedomenter has 85 mph anywhere other than that then yes, your's will be off if you do this swap.

For the price you're paying for those faces you can get a whole 115 or 145 mph cluster from a junkyard, you just have to be patient.
