Speedhut Speedometer MPH - Thoughts?

[mburger]

Hi folks.
I am looking at ordering the Speedhut Cobra GPS gauge set to replace the stock 1990 donor gauges in my MkII. I missed the Christmas sale, and the next sale in the Spring will only be 5% - 10% off. With the standard 180mph speedometer gauge, I would only use the first 33% of the gauge. 90mph is at the 12 o'clock position on the 180 gauge. I was thinking of substituting in the 140mph speedo instead. My thought was it will give me a more realistic usable sweep. Do most of you folks use the 180mph gauge? What are your thoughts? I plan on swapping the tach and speedometer positions and also plan on removing the oil temp gauge from the kit. Main reason for that is I won't have to cut a new opening and possibly need a dash re-cover. My existing dash holes are correct for these gauges as well. (I haven't figured out how to rotate the dash pic. It looks ok on my PC. Sorry about that)
