Question speedo swap kph to mph?

so my 98 aristo speedo only reads in kph but want to convert it so it reads in mph. i have another cluster with its speedo reading in mph so ive taken it apart and plan to swap out only the speedos of course. by doing this i avoid the hassle of wiring in a kph->mph converter. anyone see any possible issues with this? thanks

If you have an aristo with 180kmh, you will only get 180kmh positions even when you swap it over. The motor will move by the signal from the circuit board.
Just swap the whole cluster.
If you have an actual aristo or is using an aristo ECU you would need to get a HKS SLD to get speeds over 180kmh.
