I think most localities would say that if the is NO "intent to defraud", then there is NO problem.

I have changed speedos in the past. The BEST method to cover yourself is to note the change in the owner's guide/service literature and to make sure the "new" speedo indicated the EXACT same mileage at the time of replacement as the old one did, AND keep the old one for record.

A notation like: "Speedo replaced due to (wear, failure, damage, fading) with new speedo set to same mileage on 12/21/2003, at 34,879 miles" with the old one in the glove box should keep you in good graces.
