What is the best way to go about swapping a speedo from mph to kph? I've bought a UK import but the clocks need to change.

Don't the dials just pull off?

Would a sticker with the conversions done not be a simpler solution or am I missing something?

Thre is a kmh ring on the speedo, but its tiny - one of the worst I've seen.
Do you know how the NCT guys would view this? Have you changes dials on any UK stuff? |

Not been an issue on anything that I'm aware of. As long as there is a working speedo, afaik that's all that's tested for. |

Irrelevant for an NCT - it that was the case all pre kmh speedos would fail. There's certainly no minimum size for the markings.... |
