Oldguy48 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Here’s my solution for the broken speedometer in my P15. It’s a piece of 1/8” Plexiglas that I can slip into place when I need it, and remove in a few seconds when I don’t, without damaging the dashboard. I’ll use my cell phone as my speedometer/GPS, attached with a bit of velcro. The “Throttle” knob is non-functional, and just a knob/short stem that serves as an anchor point for the Plexiglas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertKB Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Interesting solution but why not either fix or replace the original speedometer? You can find used ones on ebay and the occasional new one. Easy to adjust the mileage to what the car has. I have done it with my '48 Dodge D25.

Oldguy48 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Actually I have a spare speedometer. But with a bad back and cataracts, I'm hesitant to tackle removing/replacing the old one.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 After changing tire size I questioned the accuracy of my speedometer. My cell phone was great for dialing in the correction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
