- Real neat story from some years back about rolling speedos back here in the D.C. metro area, one man was very, very big in doing this for most of the car delaers or car lots that wanted this service,

- Personally, I would roll back my mileage if I am rebuilding my engine ONLY. If it's to make money? I wouldn't advertise here for sure. But someone told me that if I want to roll back. I just hook the

- It is my experience that the speedometers will turn back if connected to a drill in reversed. They will also run forward with the drill. Problem is that it is a slow painful process that is not worth

- You are right. I didn't think about that. Patrick That seems to be a popular myth, but IMO it's only a myth. First of all, the odometer does not work in reverse (only the 1/10 digit will move backwar

- If this is the same fellow I knew, he also was an expert on repairing speedos on foreign cars. His standard question was "how many miles you want on this thing?" As most of ours were warranty, we wa

- That's what I thought. Firstly, a Triumph speedometer won't roll back (the ratchet won't let it), so you have to roll it forward. Secondly, it takes a *long* time with a domestic drill to put miles o

- Wow - what I type is not exactly what comes out on the Digest! Hyphens and quotation marks do not seem to make it. My TR3A is a 1959, and the KPH speedometer says 740 on the dial. --Original Message-

- Frank, thanks for the info. The way I figure it, the "740" turns per Km is about 1191 turns per mile. This is close to the expected 1180, but different enough so that it is prob. not a rounding error
