Does anyone know of a source of Kilometer speedos or replacement dials.

You could try Europa. They do a Mini speedo in MPH or KM/H

Eire uses kilometers, you could see if the Irish Minor Club has a website.

You need a speedo with the same TPM as you have now.

Export Minis obviously had KPH speedos - so there should be plenty about that will slot straight in. And yes - you need to match the 'tpm' figure - which = Turns per Mile - so dunno how they worked that with KPH speedos !!!!!

Stewart,
Here's a photo of mine. It has both miles and kilometers. I don't know what the TPM is as I don't really want to take it out. They should be easy to source on ebay. Or are you looking for Kilometers only? <br>

Regards
Declan

Thanks Declan will try this one even if I just exchanged the dials if the TPM is wrong.
Thanks to all the others for the info.

Declan - yours is 1408 TPM - says so on the dial!
The Italian one seems to be a 3 figure 'TPM' - but can't make out the figures. But there is the possibility of course that they used a KPM figure on KPH speedos - I have no idea !

The later cars with the 4.22 diff had the 1408 TPM speedo which had the KPH indicator on it too - as per Declans photo

Give Speedy Cables a ring, they manufacture the Smiths guages nowadays, you can specify exactly what you want.

I suppose, on Monday, I may be able to do a comparison with a leccy drill and try too work out whether its TPM or TPK on the KPH speedo

I have a kph one in the garage that says " 620 ". I guess this means TPK.

Ahh - useful information! That 620 TPK would be equal to 992 in TPM. - which is actually a bit low for even a 3.7 diff. But not too far away. Hmmm.
