Here in Wilmington there is a shop that calibrates speedometers (as well as repairing old or installing new "heads" as they call them). They are accepted/recommended by the Police Dept. Perhaps your community has a shop like that?

My tires on the Jag were oversized so if speedo said 70, I was really doing around 80. That shop was available if I wanted my speedo accurate with the size tires I was running, and the police were all for my speedo being accurate. I did not opt for that option and don't know what they did to recalibrate, but the shop only worked on speedometers and no other instruments.
