    Reverse speedometer

    Has anyone converted to a reverse, counter clockwise speedometer.
    It appears the right part number is
    SW-550ABE

    and requires an adapter

    thanks in advance!

    I don't have the Stewart Warner setup but Finish Line had my reverser setup. Hope this helps.

    Scott,
    I looked on Finishline's website and couldn't find it. Do you have the URL for it.

    The reverse gear set up will work on any of are vintage style speedos.

    I have an extra reverse mechanism (it came from Finishline with an Autometer reverse speedo).

    Sorry Pete, I went out to look for it.... must have already sent it to someone. I've got a set of Chrome Dome Electric Horns if you are interested (not a good alternative)

    I think you can do that with no problem.
    The connection on the speedos are all the same for the vintage style instruments.

    Finish Line carries them but they are not listed on their website.
