what should the speedo dip switch be set to?
and
has anyone managed to mount one where the spare goes? Mine doesn't fit between the rear diff and towbar.
Thanks

#403 was running 270s on 19.5" rims before I put the 325s on and when I checked it against the GPS is was only a few k's out. So it probably wasn't accurate before.
403 is a dual cab tray and my spare fits neatly (and I mean neatly) where it is supposed to go. It just touches the nuts on the spring hanger pins on both sided and has about a couple of inch gap behing the tow bar cross member.
Buses will be different because they have an extended tow bar frame.
Cheers

Noise: yes a bit more, but to me not a problem.
Gearing: a bit higher as tyres are taller, just have to change down a gear a bit earlier. Lowest gear is low enough not to notice.
We changed Mick's Oka to 35 splines all around, mine still to be done.

"The tyres you are chasing are not in stock in Australia. These tyres are three months away from coming in. If you require these tyres I suggest you put in an order and pay for the tyres up front ASAP as there is no guarantee that they will be available when the stock arrives into Australia. Currently there are 310 tyres that other customers have placed orders for.

Not sure what I will do yet, but think I should be able to buy new for around 500 dollars each.

Ah, I see there are two articles on speed settings on the site.
This one
OKA Speedo Settings
These are only a guide only (calculated by mathematics).
Tyre Size 11.00 R16 Speedo Setting 4&8 On
Tyre Size 9.00 R16 Speedo Setting 8 On
Tyre Size 305/70 R19.5 Speedo Setting 8 Off
Tyre Size 255/100R16 Speedo Setting 1& 8 Off
Tyre Size 285/70R19.5 Speedo Setting 1,2 & 8 Off
Tyre Sizes 8.25R16 and 265/70 R19.5 Speedo Setting 2,3 & 8 Off
This information supplied courtesy Peter Davis.
was the one I saw and following it produced some crazy results - possible because of a misinterpretation of what "8 OFF" means.
The other article which shows all the settings always has 8 ON so the suggestions by Peter may have the switch upside down or back to front or whatever.

XT Speedo Sensor TURCK # BI8U-M18-AN6X available from Micromax 1300 326 626
... and then found this info too (but the tyre size is of no use to you):
For tyre size 9.00 - 16
Switch position on 8.
Switch position off 1 to 7.
Tacho reading 2048 rpm
Speedo reading 70 Km/h
... but that tacho reading and speed don't correspond to 5th gear, so I don't know what that means either.

The Site Search function at the bottom of each web page can be used to locate specific topics. Most of these documents are pdf files which will open in their own window (use your Back button to return).
If you have any suggestions or are aware of useful info I could put in this section please contact me.
