..I'm thinking about changing the 85mph speedo in my 380SL with a 160mph speedo from a 450SL - do you see any problems?
 
only if you get a ticket-see I can make a joke!!!who said I was turning into a crabby old B@#*@ P.S. Terry got one on the new Harley- 83/65 $173.00 - no holes in my drivers license - I'm still laughing he THREATENED me over the N.O. trip Randi
 
I don't think there will be a problem with the swap, but some research into the specific 450 diff ratio compared with the 380 would tell you quick. I ~think~ they're the same or close enuff.

Got a clear few miles of Interstate and a stopwatch? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
If it'll work with the same speedo cable, and it's geared right, I don't see any problems.
