Have a bit of a search around in here, as I remember this being discussed a LOOONG time ago, and I think someone may have put up a template for one.

 

I'd find it for you, but am feeling extra lazy today. :lolcry:

divide MPH by 6 and then times by 10.

 

e.g

 

60mph / 6 = 10. 10 x 10 = 100kmh

 

42mph / 6 = 7. 7 x 10 = 70kmh

 

36mph / 6 = 6. 6 x 10 = 60kmh

 

they are the only ones you really need to know.

You can buy converters that screw on the speedo then the cable screws onto it (in line) and turn the MPH into KM P/h.

They sound like a good idea. Any contact info on where we can buy these? :lolcry:

I have a few in my shed I will look for a manufacturer on the packet, the only trouble is you can wind the speedo needle all the way around until it hits zero again.

ye that sounds alrite ay, but for now iv just worked out what mph are in kph and ill just have it sittin there on a piece of paper near my speedo, I'm sure after a while ill no it of by heart ay.

 

10 mph = 15 kph

 

15 mph = 25 kph

 

18 mph = 30 kph

 

24 mph = 40 kph

 

30 mph = 50 kph

 

37 mph = 60 kph

 

43 mph = 70 kph

 

49 mph = 80 kph

 

55 mph = 90 kph

 

60 mph = 100 kph anything over 60 means I'm going to fast... hahah

 

cheers haydo.

Made by Morey Haigh in Victoria it simply adjusts the speedo cable speed to convert the MPH to KM PH, simply screw in line and away you go.

Does this mean that when doing 60MPH, the gauge will read 100MPH.....which in actual fact is really 100KM/H. So its just a matter of adjusting your mindset to realise this?

Other option is if you find the RARE as shit rocking horse Toyota speedo sticker.

 

There was one on ebay a while ago I lost. It is a sticker designed and printed by Toyota for a KE10 speedo to convert it to mph to KM/H with out readjusting cable or anything. Quite rare item does exist and if you want to go that way just keep an eye out for one.

 

OR

 

Another rare option is to find a KE10 KM/H speedo. They do exist. the part number for it is:

 

Sprinter part number) 83110-12041

KE11-B,ke11-CB, ke11-FB, ke11-CFB) 83110-12022

ke11L-B, ke11L-CB, ke11L-FB, ke11L-CFB) 83110-12060

 

Now the reason for them having a few different versions of the km/h speedo is that A sprinter one from what I can see in my parts catalog has slightly different mounts compared to normal KE mounts with out the tacho. But Felix since you have pulled your KE15 dash apart you might be able to shed light on this?

 

Also in the parts number book it lists there being 1 speedo drive gear for the ke1X cars even though there were many diff ratios. So the difference in a KE10 is they probably made the speedo read less or more in the speedo not at the gear box so that is also another reason for a few different speedos. Also useless fact the left hand drive version of the corolla KE1X has a 100mm longer speedo cable.

 

Cheers
