Hi Russ....the way forward is to have your speedo recalibrated as Geoff mentions above..changeing the speedo drive is not an option......Steve

Well it sort of is given that you can buy geared correction boxes that connect to the speedo drive and correct for diff changes, but I agree that the only sensible thing to do is get SR to overhaul the existing unit and put in the proper gears. This ensures the odometer remains correct too.
