The secondary ruler is clearly just that -- secondary. The text and markings are often smaller.
It's likely way easier to flip a switch on the spedometer, then swap out the faceplate than you think.
- mrguyorama 8y agoIf you are switching out the faceplate, then it doesn't make sense for the MPH faceplate to go to 140
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoYou would have to reconfigure the hardware to move the needle differently. Depending on the vintage of the control electronics this may be easier said than done.
- robjan 8y agoI don't know if it's true of all manufacturers but I know for certain that BMW does change the faceplate. It's why on MPH cars the MPG dial counts down, whereas the litres/100km counts up on metric cars (which makes more sense)
- benj111 8y agoBut MPH says 'MPH' on my car at least. It would be very confusing if that wasn't MPH. The manufacturer would probably also end up getting sued.
