Speedo markings???
Brad and Mia 30 April 2005 10:33:17
	Hi all. Here's a weird one... I've had numerous 5.0s. Love 'em. Today I noticed something I've never seen before... The car is a 93GT, Canadian model. On the speedo, there are two small dots. One at 30kph and one at 40kph. Then, one at 90kph and one at 100kph. Then one at 190 kph and one at 200kph. These can't be shift markers, can they, cause they make no sense. I thought the first one might be something for school/playgrounds (cause it fits) and the second the 'preferred' speed for make fuel economy. But the markings at 190 and 200??? So I thought, shift points? But with the stock 2.73 gears, I can do a lot more than 40kph in first and 100kph in second before I need to shift. So what the hell are they there for??? Ideas? Also, anyone ever take off the protective lens over the cluster? Mine is dirty from the inside, but I worry if I take it off to clean it, it will squeak when I put it back on.... Thanks all. Minus the trolls, this is still a good group. Brad

	Taking the lens off to clean is pretty easy. Just be careful popping the headlight knob off, it has a tendency to break if you do it from the wrong angle. It wont squeak when back on if you're careful. No clue about the dots.. "Brad and Mia" <bradandmia@shaw.ca> wrote in message news:NEFce.1169001$8l.1079302@pd7tw1no...> Hi all.

	I've seen them before too and wondered what they are for. Hope you get an answer to this question, it would be nice to know.

	I'm fairly certain they're calibration points. I was once told 1000rpm on speedo cable equaled 60mph. They vary the input rpm and it has to fall between the various marks.

I'd ask Ford but I'm sure I'll get "I dunno". That will instill a lot of confidence in me. Brad

	Ya know, I am just not thinking they are calibration marks. The reason is, I have had cars with these. One car in particular had progressive dots 1 dot - then two - then three. I thought that they may have been a shifiting guideline too. They were placed in what would ahve been an economically prudent place to shift. Wish I could remember the car. I've had so darn many that they all blend together. Kate "TM" <tmiller6@msn.nospam.com> wrote in message news:4274408e$1_3@newspeer2.tds.net... \| I'm fairly certain they're calibration points.
