Speedo Calibration

Nah. Make a cardboard template to fit over the speedo glass and recalibrate with a marking pen...

Seriouly, that's what I would do; it is a *huge* job to take apart and then requires hands with the skills of a watchmaker (yes, there is even a "hairspring" inside).

That's a pretty genius idea.

It might help to borrow someone's GPS, they'll give you pretty darn accurate velocity readings.

It's really not a DIY job. Recalibrating the speedo requires changing the strength of a magnet inside. This is done with special puleed electromagnetic equipment that you'll only find at a speedo shop.

OTOH, if you can find a speedo shop in your town, they can often do it in a day, or even while you wait.

There are a lot of shops around who can do this with US speedos, but many of them are not familiar with the VDO method of specifying the calibration, so they may not want to deal with it.
