Question about 140 mph speedo mod(Updated Pics 10/22/08) August 21, 2008, 06:09:35 PM I was reading one of the archived threads about the 140mph speedo mod. My question is did anybody get any good speedo faces made? I want to do the mod but I really want mine to look stock. I've seen the link to the one that is posted on coolcats but I don't think I have the patience to try and print one out and trying to get it to match the other gauges.Thanks. Quote Selected

I really don't care too much about buying a real 140 mph speedo just too much $$ for numbers that I'll only see at the track and I will not be looking at the speedo anyway but it is a nice mod if it can be done cheap like under $50 Quote Selected

Question about 140 mph speedo mod(Updated Pics 10/22/08) Reply #11 – August 22, 2008, 05:29:54 PM U can download the printal gauges and print them on photo paper, and goto coolcats.com and look for the 199 digatal speedomter mod. From what I have look at mine the TC gauges are different and don't have the W2 place to solder, and the hole mother board is different form what I can tell. If any one can tell me were the w2 is on the mother board for the TC gauge cluster. Quote Selected
Question about 140 mph speedo mod(Updated Pics 10/22/08) Reply #12 – August 22, 2008, 05:37:50 PM I have someone that makes white face overlays for our cars. He is going to make the a brand new set of overlays in black(so they all match). He is charging $40.00 plus shipping. I'll buy the first one and show you guys what it looks like when I get it. I have to take a picture of my cluster at night because he wants to make sure about the way the numbers and the dials illuminate(or not). I'll pay for them on monday and see how long it takes for him to make them. I'll keep you guys posted.Ken Quote Selected

If any one can tell me were the w2 is on the mother board for the TC gauge cluster.We're talking about the buttstuffog speedo here, not digital.Another thing to consider is this: After you install the 140mph overlay or whatnot, your speedo will be INACCURATE!There's a resistor that must be soldered in, see the writeup on Coolcats.net for the details.Secondly, I told you in YOUR thread to go to CoolCats for the mod. :D AND..it's better known as the W2 mod Thirdly, you're gonna look awhile for the W2 position on the TC (and Sport) buttstuffog speedo...because it's not there in the first place! lol If you (or anyone else) want a converted and working base digital cluster that also has the stainless bezel that you can find on ebay, PM me...I have one I'll sell... Panther, as mentioned before had a thread in the Vendor's section about custom gauge faces. Not sure how active he is though, maybe a PM to him...? Quote Selected
