Legalities of ODO / Speedo and all that

[MrOizo]

I have converted from mechanical speedo drive to electronic and the only speedo i have is on a RSM.

Is it a requitrment to have a working Odometer?

Also will the RSM suffice? or would i have to mount the speedo from the car that the electronic spoeedo is from?

Yes you need a working odometer to get a wof, and it doesn't matter where the speedo came from, as long as it's accurate.

my one hasnt worked for a bout the past 4 years of wofs so im pretty sure its sweet not to have one

[barryogen]

dunno about cars, but when I last rode a motorbike, if it has the ability to go over 50km/h, it required one, I would assume the same rule would apply.

Only diesel powered vehicles require an odometer, my bosses petrol patrol hasn't had a working odo for 5 years.

Speed only is fine.

bo

got a copy of the virm page on speedos here if you want it ,
however it doesnt state anything in regards to odo anywhere but as far as I can understand if you have written proof it is impractical to have a speedo repaired you dont have to have one , it also says nothing about having a factory speedo in place rather then an aftermarket one.

come pick it up ill be here at work all day

after talking to wof guy odo isnt needed for wof however you need to have ur form of speedo visable to the driver .
so all in all ur sweet

Sorry, I didn't actually check, I was just going on what I got told when I went to get a wof and mine wasn't working

I suspect this is not correct. Certainly I am unable to find anything to confirm this.

[Crimson Tears]

If you can provide paperwork to prove that you are having the speedometer repaired, then you can get a WOF without the speedometer. It says so in the VIRM.
