Question Anyone install a speedometer guage?

I installed indiglo overlays over my guages and i kinda fuc*ed up my speedometer gauge (it gets stuck when it gets to about 55) and it kinda bothers. So i was thinking about getting a dual gauge pod, tranny temp gauge, and speedometer gauge. Has anyone every installed one? Is hard? Any info would be great.

Most gauge pods (assume you are talking A-pillar?) hold 2-1/16" (multiple) or 2-5/8" (single) gauges. I don't think I've ever seen a speedometer that small, and I don't think it would be very useful. AutoMeter makes several electronic speedometers that will interface with PCM/sensors that produce signals from 500 - 400,000 pulses-per-mile. But I believe they are only made in 3-3/8", 3-7/8" and 5" diameters.

I guess someone might make a digital readout unit that would fit in a small pod opening.

Going to an aftermarket, add-on speedometer seems like an extreme cure for messing up the needle (it is probably only rubbing on the overlay) on the stocker.
