New dials / console for a Hawk?

When imported it should have been fitted with a converter so that it reads in Mph, usually the K from the Km/h marking on the dial then gets covered up by a square of electrical tape, so the marking reads m/h
I'd be surprised if yours doesn't already read in m/h

ok
despite what the dials are marked in, would check against a GPS speedo app or satnav as to what speed read out is on either gadget when at constant 50kph
if it turns out you're doing 50 mph or there abouts, it sounds like the converter has been fitted and you just need to put a sticker over the Km/h marking.
if you're only doing 31 mph or there abouts, then it's not got a converter fitted and personally I'd go that route rather than changing the clocks because then you'd have some random ODO figure.
If you fit the converter as should be done when the car is registered in the UK as an import then record the ODO reading and document it, because it'll have counted how many Km the car had clocked up prior to fitting, and then obviously past that device being fitted it'll count the rest in miles.

if thats the case and you arent to bothered about the odometer reading a set of uk clocks would be a straight swap and if necesary you can have mileage corrected.
id be asking why are the clocks not reading correct in the first place though, have they been swapped out to hide the mileage??

It's on a Northern Irish plate to confuse matters even more, seems it was off the forecourt new in Dubin, went to NI and registered there then shipped across. When I registered it here I kept the NI plate because it looked different lol

Should this do the trick?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...item5d2579f5a7
Also does anyone know any companies that could change my odometer to miles instead of KM?
