The dimentions of the original Speedo is (4 9/16" wide x 4 1/4" tall)that is the gage size NOT the image size because the Image might have a little white around the edges. The circle should be about (4 5/32" in DIA)
To resize the 180 speedo image to about perfect you have to resize the image to 42% of the original size
The 100 AND 150 Speedo I had to resize twice 44% was too big, 43% was too small. So resize to 44% then resize again to 99% to get it perfect.
Keep in mind that you take your original gage and lay it on top of your print, then you can see how well the holes line up to your original. I Traced the outside of the original on the computer, so you have to go from the INSIDE of the line.
HOPE that makes sence...
