garvice Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 When I changed from the large original Datsun steering wheel to a smaller momo wheel, I found that I could no longer determine my speed. The normal highway speed in Australia is 100 km/hr, however with my new steering wheel I couldn't see above ~80km/hr. Since I have very few points left on my license and any further tickets would take me off the road, I thought of a good way to fix it. And it has only taken me about a year to actually implement that fix. So here it is. It involved drilling four new mounting holes in the gauge holder and making a simple (bent piece of 1mm Aluminium strip) bracket to hold the back of the gauge.

essdeezee Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I believe that spec miata guys do this same type of mod to their tachs to make them more readable on track. The gauges mods are sure to help someone in the future. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Might want to add steering before wheel into the title for searching reference. I thought it was about a smaller diameter tire before I clicked and wondered what it was doing in the interior section Very functional and inexpensive fix!
