Just use a speedo and tacho that are the same size. After rego you can swap them around.

Cheers

Mike – You’re not just a pretty face... but such subterfuge will not be required (see following).

Good news - The relevant ADR (18) wasn't introduced until Jan '73 so I can now relocate the Speedo. To be fair to my engineer I hadn’t reminded him of the 240Z build date (3/72) and he assumed it was post Jan ’73.

Not that I probably needed to, but this is exactly what I did.

How mine is now after swapping.
