I think HKS do one but don't quote me on that?

My can was converted by the importer for me so I don't know what he used, but it has always been pretty good and pretty accurate (certainly no worse than the other 'uk' cars I have owned that read 70 when you are really only doing 65!)

Perhaps one of the 'geeks' on here can help!
Guys?!

I don't know of any significant problems

There's a doc on t'interweb somewhere that shows the 3 connections required on the back of the speedo cluster

Are you looking to convert the speedo reading or remove the speed limiter or both?

I'm currently looking at the back of a spare cluster fitted with a convertor.
In the middle of the cluster are four cross-head screws - each has a marking by the side of it.
Top Left = SI
Bottom Left = R
Top Right = Y
Bottom Right = E

The way this convertor is wired is as follows:
Blue wire from convertor to top left cross-head screw (SI);
Red wire from convertor to bottom left cross-head screw (R);
Green wire from convertor to bottom right cross-head screw (E).

The convertor has a Grey wire that appears not to be used.

The convertor has a Yellow wire that, I assume, connects to the Speed Sensor wire from the ECU.
