I have heard Flexible Drive Agencies can do it, I've never actually asked them or heard of anyone going there for it though.

Failing that, ring the Coventrys head office on 9276 0111 and ask for the Service department, they can handle it there.

i cant remember if it was this board or the usmb that somebody took a photo of their speedo, modified it on the computer then printed it out, then pulled the cover off the speedo and stuck it ontop of the factory dial

Looked pretty good too

There are places that can do it relatively easily - some kind of gearing change in the back of the instrument cluster. Mate of mine got it done to his L series after he got 27" tyres.

From memory it was just under $100 but I can't be too sure. Next time I am in Osborne Park I will cruise by the place and find out what it's called. "Something Instruments" I beleive.

Late Liberty's take their speed from a electronic impulse. Jaycar sell a modification box to adjust the speed for $45 Cat No. KC5380
If it can't be cut, welded or re-machined, you probably don't need it.

not many people are lifting late libs yet.

electronic i can do, but my car is a gen1 and has a mechanical speedo. A gearset is the only option

You could just spend the $300 on a half decent gps unit that gives you speed and bingo, problem solved.
