Title: change gauge face
Post by: silentbob on February 25, 2010, 12:40:46 PM
I have a M800 with a Canadian gauge cluster.  I would like to change the face to read mph instead of kmh.  I found a company in the UK that makes gauge faces to change between metric and standard or to just refurbish and old gauge, but I figure the Canadian and US gauges are the same internally with just a different face so if I could get a stock face I could just swap it.  Has anyone done this?

I haven't done it, but the wheel sensor is the same so I suspect you're right.

if the wheel sensor is the same, then you are correct. the problem is where the hell are you going to find one?

I took mine out and scanned them, someone edited it for me to have all these cool designs on it, color etc etc. i just never printed them because it was too costly to even get 10 of them made.

I've got a spare cluster from a 2000 M750 thats in miles.  From a US model.  If it works for you, I'll swap speedo's with you.  Kind of a win win.  I need something in KM/H.

I'll send you a photo and you can do the same and we'll see if they look compatible.
