Now, I know what you are thinking, but I'm not looking to take miles away. Other way around actually.

Anyhow, I want to replace the speedometer in my '80 245 with 427K miles. I broke the speedometer needle a while back, and I wasn't able to get it to glue on straight. (The glue also undid it self during are freezing temps early in the year.)

Now, I can get a replacement Speedometer with out too much of a problem, except for the mileage on the odometer. I've found a couple of speedometers that were in the 300K's, but I would like my odometer to still read 427K.

Can I just physically roll the last number in the odometer a couple of notches and not have to worry about breaking anything?

Remember, I have NO intention of trying to misrepresent my car's mileage. I'm quite proud of it in fact.

Thanks, as always.
