Speedo turtle?
I am going to fit 16x7" tyres to the rear of my cabriolet and according to the chart I need a 20 tooth turtle for the speedo drive.Ive searched all the usual places but can't seem to locate any suppliers.Does anyone know if they are available and if so where.Average speed cameras are popping up all over the place and they do not allow any leeway, so I need an accurate speedometer.

Re: Speedo turtle?
If you want to be accurate then buy a small GPS speedo and stick it in the corner of your windscreen for spot on accuracy. Then you can leave the original speedo as is. Regards, Kevin.

Henry, I know you are in the UK, but I've had great luck getting the "turtle" I've needed from CharlieNY. And, he's a great guy to deal with. Not sure about the cost of shipping it to you, however.

Re: Speedo turtle?
Thanks for the suggestions ....Id like to keep things original if at all possible and switching the turtle would be the best option.I have thought about fitting a hideaway GPS type unit but that remains plan B.
Dick, who/ where is CharlieNY? |

Re: Speedo turtle?
Henry, that's Charlie Schwendler in Orchard Park, NY. His email is [email protected].
Phone is (716)662-9159 (in USA of course.) Charlie rebuilds carbs, transmissions, and has a wealth of parts. He posts here on the Ford Barn and I think I have his user name correctly stated. Good luck ....Dick. |

Re: Speedo turtle?
If you just want to check your speed then mark it of in your head (lets say your speedo says your doing 50, but your doing 55) you can download free phone apps that use gps to give you mph. One free one is speedometer.

Re: Speedo turtle?
