Do any of you know if you can get speco speedos? I was looking at some speco gauges today and they seem great value for money, however I didnt see any speedos.

If you cant get them what are my other options for a speedo? Idealy I was looking at something 4 inch or 5 inch..

Mike

I don't have any speedo at the moment :oops: there's a hole in my dash waiting for one whenever I find one to replace the standard one. I just make sure I'm driving in traffic to judge my speed

we had this problem with my sisters boyfriends car when he decided to replace all the gauges with after market ones and the only one we found with a speedo is autometre. all the other brands don't do speedos.
