there's a good HOWTO on the 505 speedo on 505turbo.com. I was reading
through it the other day.
http://www.505turbo.com/505_instrument_cluster_procedure.php
I've heard that you can just replace the speedo units. I'd try to get
in contact with Madhu, as I think he was the only one who had any. If
Brian Holm is reading this, are they even still available from
Peugeot?
good luck,
/august
hope that helps.
