You do not need to recalibrate it.....just put a clear sticker on the
glass dial that has MHP or KPH as required. You could even make your own
up, as we Brits have to on our old jallopies to thrash about Europe.

Trace your present guage face onto clear plastic, then using the
following, add the mph. Stick over the dial, you will be able to read
both.

MPH      KPH
10       16
20       32
30       49
40       65
50       80
60       97
70       112
80       129

Olay!!
