Does anyone know ?
I going to 17 inch tires from 15 inch. Does anyone know the link for converting speedo reading ? (Streets must have it somewhere .)
Also is there a place that I can buy a speedo driver gear to make the speedo read right ?
Thanks

You need to know the actual physical size of the tires you are going to put on. I get asked this alot in my daily "regular job" and the fact that you are going from a 15 inch rim to a 17 inch rim means nothing unless you have the dimensions of the tire/wheel all mounted and ready to install. You may not even need to adjust your speedo calibration if the dia./ circumference is right.Oscar

Speedo Calibrato
Go here www.virtualengine2000.com/Calculator.htm and download the free Dyno. Put in a few numbers such as rear gear ratio, diameter of tire, and will help you get correct speed if you have tach in your Rod. You could also spring for a digital or electronic speedo and never have the problem again.

OK
Maybe I didn't understand the question, if I'm wrong it's not the first time. I've got a Dakota digital in my truck and I can adjust speedo for any combo of wheels and tires. Just press a button,drive a mile, and like magic my speedo is calibrated. As for the rest, I'll save my fingers.
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
