I don't know the answer to your question but have an alternative. You chould just get the speedo face replaced with a KMH one. Here is a link to a place in Oz that sells them -

Or maybe you could go to Lioel Otto Instruments who are in your part of the world & talk to them -
www.ottoinstruments.com.au/
I'm sure they would be able to tell you what needs doing.

Changing face plates is going to change the accuracy.

You may have also heard that the quality of those replacement clocks is not so good.....or at least not as good as originals.
I have no experience of these myself, just what was mentioned on a forum once.
Maybe you could find out for all of us. ;)
