I purchased a GT6 sometime back that had the rear end and rear body work
of a Spitfire. My problem is that the speedo shows a higher speed than
what I am really traveling (35mph= approx. 50mph on speedo guage). As a
result, miles are stacking up much more quickly than they should. I
believe the tires are roughly the size of the originals. Does this
require some kind of gear or something? Forgive me if I sound naive,
but I don't know much about how the speedo/odo work.
I know the rear end of the Spit has a different ratio than the rear end
of the GT6, but I would think (trying to use some engineering intuition
here, look out) that the speedo would read from the front end. I can't
seem to find anything in Haynes.
By the way, is Haynes the best manual out there or are there better shop
manuals for these cars?
thanks,
