Default Metric instrument cluster replacement

I have a 97 DX Coupe, and I want to install a cluster with a tach. I live in Canada, and all of the clusters that I have found on eBay are Imperial (MPH instead of KPH). Is my current speedometer be the same size as the one that is in the EX, Si, whatever cluster with the tach in it? If so, could I buy the american cluster and then just replace the speedo in it with my current one?

Also, if I find a cluster with KPH or just keep the american one, can I replace the odometer assembly with my current one?

TIA for replies.

Thats what i did when i bought a ex cluster for my cx. I replaced the speedo so i can still have the exact mileage on the car. They are the same size so replacing it is easy.

AGREEits an easy job to do. I have the whole casing without the speedometer ....tach, fuel,and temp gauge I have those. I got a complete Gauge cluster because my Dads Speedometer got busted. SO thats the only thing I took out. It's for a civic 96-00 It's for an auto but it still works on a 5spd you are just not going to get the light for automatic gears. I even tested it out on my SI and it worked fine. If interested PM me, I take pay-pal payments
