Hi can anyone help. I'm restoring a z1 900 1973 and it came to the UK from Italy so its in kmh and I see I can buy a converter but do I need to change the dial face as well to a mph one or do I use the existing one? Stan.

I would look at getting a repop mph one to use and keep the original for resale time.
Ohh and don't forget to convert it to rhd

That's silly. Just turn it inside out.

The converters are awful IMO, it's a halfway effort.
Better to either change the gauge face or as the guys say, get a repro speedometer (though they are not 100% representitive).
I can sell you a complete kit to change over from KM/H to MPH. You can either fot it yourself or get Al Marshall to do the job.

Sorry for late reply. Thanks for your help.
