No, but I don't care. I have way too much to do on this car to stress over the inaccuracies of a speedometer. I have the entire interior out, have just finished putting the 300 turbo diesel in the body and rewiring the cruise, preglow and the cluster's D-plug so I could use the diesel cluster and have the same accurate warning system.

I've also gather all the most difficult to replace parts such as; shifter bushings, turbo drain tube and it's rubber rings and a couple other boxes full of stuff. I'll probably use a GPS until I get used to the difference in the speedometer.

Thanks you for setting me straight on this. It's much cheaper than a than the way the local police do it.

Regarding your first response, I thought it was part #43a on the picture since part 42 doesn't look like a bearing.
