Speedometer/Odometer Replacement

Yahoo Message Number: 10812
My Intrigue is equipped with a VDO speedometer/odometer. I assume it is the original gauge. It has a scale to 160 mph. I have been known to drive at or slightly above the speed limit but I just can't get the courage up to approach the 160 mph mark.
BUT, seriously, the numerals are all a little small for my somewhat older eyes and I would like to replace the unit with one that has larger numbers and if it only went up to 90 or 100 mph, it would be OK.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,

Mike and Marg Keogh

is the original gauge. It has a scale to 160 mph. (snip) the numerals are all a little small for my somewhat older eyes (snip) And, to complicate things (assuming yours is like mine), there's only three "ticks" instead of four between major MPH points, so it's difficult (without a GPS) to know exactly how fast you're driving between the major points.
Also, the odometer is damn near impossible to read, even in the dark with dashboard lights on. Someone suggested securing a small magnifying glass lens over the odometer to make it easier to read. That's on my "to do" list.

By the way ... with our laptop computer in front her, with navigation program and GPS enabled, Geri is my "talking speedometer." At my invitation .
