TC speedo capacitors

Okay, I know this is out there somewhere but can't find it.  I've searched here, Coolcats, NATO, and TF. 

I'm looking for a list of capacitors for the TC speedo to convert the readout, specifically, 200kph to 200mph.

Wow, are you sure thats out there?  I've never seen that before...  So, you want to read-cal it so the 200 kph point becomes 200 mph and then I'm assuming you just ignore the kph written on the gauge face?  I bet a bit of math comparing all the different configurations could get you the size you need...?

I know that thread is on NATO.  Search the message board for "200mph conversion".  I just searched for it a few weeks ago, because I bought a 200kph speedo cluster from Vinnie and plan on converting it.  I've also met and talked to the guy that did the initial conversion outlined in the message board thread.
