Is there a way to make the speedo show the right speed? Title: Re: Autometer speedo? Post by: Andy Sykes on January 06, 2014, 20:28:22 pm I think they do a gps interface but you would need an electronic speedo from them

Title: Re: Autometer speedo? Post by: Rocket Ron on January 06, 2014, 23:31:09 pm I had a cable done years ago when I put my autometer speedo in
It involves a vw lower half and the gm style top with a litttle ratio box in between to give the correct reading I had to give them the rolling length of the front tyre and send them the gauge for them to make the cable for me . Checked it with my sat nav and it was with 1 or 2mph at 70 mph. I had a couple made at the time I sure the company was somewhere in Wales but can't remember the name sorry Regards Ron Title: Re: Autometer speedo?

Title: Re: Autometer speedo? Post by: Happychappy on January 16, 2014, 07:19:49 am I used Speedycables for mine and they delivered the cable back very quickly and works great. From memory I sent them a VW speedo cable and they converted it to the Autometer spec required.
