1928-29 Oval Face speedo calibrated for Kilometers
I have 2 unrestored, original, oval face speedometers here that were setup from the factory to report speed in km/hr and for the odometer to read km.
Inside the "0" at rest, it says KILO vertically in very small font. I am offering these "free to a good home" for any FB member that could use them on their car. I only ask to be reimbursed for my actual shipping cost to you. They are both Stewart-Warner speedometers with a number 36283 stamped on the back. Please contact me by PM or email to arrange shipping.

That is an awesome offer, Jim!
While I'm a stone throw from Canada, I think I'll stick to miles... :-) |

Someone within the past year was searching for a KILO speedometer. Hope he sees this.

Re: 1928-29 Oval Face speedo calibrated for Kilometers
My only concern would be getting the MTO to understand that a car that has had the mileage reported in miles for 87 years is all of a sudden in Kilometres.

In any case, perhaps a before and after speedo change photo of the instrument panel could provide whatever proof is required? |

Re: 1928-29 Oval Face speedo calibrated for Kilometers
Every year when you buy plates you have to report the mileage on the car to MTO (Ministry of Transport Ontario). They hassled my friend one year because he only drove his car 7 miles. I'm not sure how they would handle the switch to kilometres....typical government agency....not very flexible.
