Motor vehicle metric conversion kit

A kit for permitting the direct reading from a standard speedometer having a front transparent panel and markings associated therewith in miles per hour to kilometers per hour, comprising:

• a. an elongated base having a front surface and rear surface,
• b. indicia means on one of said surfaces and including a plurality of spaced apart numerals and guide lines angularly disposed to substantially coincide with markings on the standard speedometer,
• c. securing means for removably coupling said elongated base to the transparent panel, said securing means including an adhesive on said front surface with a cover thereon which when removed permits said elongated base to be positioned and secured in place to the front panel so as to align the zero numeral of said indicia means with the similar marking on the standard speedometer.
• d. gripping means outwardly extending from said elongated base to facilitate handling and positioning thereof relative to the speedometer,
• e. said gripping means includes a pair of spaced apart tabs adapted to be gripped by the fingers of a person installing the kit, said tabs are inclined having a contoured inner face directed towards said front surface to permit a finger to be positioned between the transparent panel and said tab so as to apply a force necessary for separation of said elongated base from the transparent panel, and
• f. alignment means having at least one angularly disposed scale arm to align the numerals of said indicia means with the speedometer markings, said alignment means being removably connected to said elongated base to aid in the proper positioning thereof relative to the transparent panel prior to utilization of said securing means to obtain the proper alignment of said indicia means with respect to the speedometer markings.
