OR

Take the face plate and scan it on the flatbad scanner, then modify it. Finally, print a new one out with the photo printer. You can modify the font, colors, etc. Bolt it to the speedo using the standard screws.

Speedometer Calibration

It is normal for the speedometer to read fast. The specified tolerance is +5% -10%. So at actual 60mph it can read 57 to 66 and still be acceptable. But you can blueprint the speedometer to be closer to the actual speed.

See main article: Speedometer Calibration

Amplifier Speed Switch

Australia late utes and 1973 USA used it

See main article: Instrument_Panel_Wiring#Speed Switch

Alternatives

Possible fit: ^POST Smith's guage from a Triumph
Album 10754

VDO
Album 11799

Custom Faces

See main article Custom Dash Faces

Z Speedometer

280Z speedometer fits in the 1200 dash cluster.

1. Swap the mounting cups as the 280Z unit is deeper
2. Drill a hole for the trip meter shaft through the back
3. The face is to large for the opening in the 1200 housing, so carefully reduce the diameter by 1/8 inch

350Z speedometer looks a similar size.
Album 14499

Electronic Speedometer

Yes, you can fit an electronic speedometer into a 1200.
