One day, far, far in the future, I am going to copy Eric et al. and install a set of Auto Meter gauges in place of the current cluster. I'll certainly be going over 120 mph, although I won't really care to know how much over. I'd rather have the 120 mph gauge, versus the 160 for the increased resolution. So, anybody have know if pegging the gauge would cause any damage? I would guess not, but I'd like to know, rather than wasting $200.
Yes, I realize this question is retarded. :hick:
Autometer also makes a special-order 200mph speedo.
I'll let ya know.... :-)))
Har-har. I don't think I'll ever be making the 650 or so horsepower needed to exceed 200mph.
I will. :-)))
But I realise I didn't really answer your question. I don't think there is a "peg" or "stop" at the end of the travel of the pointer, so it should be free to rotate past the last number printed on the face.
if you plan on pegging the speedo i hope you have the brakes and suspension to safely go that speed. i know in my younger days we used to call that scarey fast. 120 on stock brakes and chassis= rolled car (ask me how i know) since my son was born i have mellowed a good deal.
I don't even care to go 100....what's the point? You get py gas mileage and an exponential increase in the chance of being in an accident. No thanks.
I e-mailed them Monday evening, and was surprised to get a replay so soon Tuesday morning.
