Fiero Metric Speedometer on Canadian and European Models (Page 1/3)
Dennis LaGrua JAN 24, 06:07 PM
Quite frankly I have never seen a Fiero Metric Speedometer but they may be common in Canada and Europe. My friend Chet has one and is just holding onto it as a curio right now. We don't see these NOS spare parts in the USA very often so they are rare over this way. Chet might be willing to sell but it may be at a price that he can't refuse and then be faced with international shipping cost.
Is there demand for such an item? If so what is a brand new one worth.?

If the US ever decides to leave the stone age and go metric , those Fiero Metric Speedometers will really be in demand down there!

Hey Dennis! Have a look in any dealer-supplied Canadian car at Carlisle next time; they`re all like that.

Looks normal... like most Fieros I've seen in my lifetime.

Here's my cluster. In addition to the speed in km/h, the following measures are also metric:

Odometer in km
Coolant temperature in Celsius
Oil pressure in kPa

That's not much of a big issue... the majority of the parts for my Fiero project are internationally sourced.

It just sounds spooky because I guess it's unfamiliar territory to you.

Exactly... the imperial system is archaic and illogical. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is still in use. ounces? gallons? feet? miles? inches? pounds? yards? Maybe we should add "thumbs",

This is hilarious...

Don't forget that here in the US we also have 'Football Fields' where distances are measured in multiples of a football field's length, which is great if you know how long a football fields is but not all of us do!. Seems to be in pretty common use, even on the news!

Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

Dennis did you not take a closer look at the 7 Canadian cars at Carlisle last year! Lol

Lol and the US football fields are smaller too !

I have a Canadian 2M6SE. The speedo was changed but the rest is still metric on the temp and oil pressure.

I do have a full 88 GT metric dash I found in a crashed car. I may install it someday for fun.
