Other than that I would really like to try this as my last hope to get my speedo read atleast near to accurate.

As the speedometer is electrically pulse operated and therefore presumably a moving coil instrument, any error should be basically linear rather than progressive. Resetting the pointer should be OK from a practical point of view.

That said, if anything OEM has been altered you are in a different ball park.
