Can someone tell me if a speedometer from a V65 will fit a V45?

Well I might find out the answer to this in about a half hour. My brother is bringing his V45 over to check it out. I will let you know what I find.  From looking at pictures it seem the mounting holes are different on the housing but I'm still wondering if I could swap the gauge into the old housing. We will see.

I want to say no.  Seems like the V65 ones are slightly larger.  Let us know though.   :smile:

It worked! The mounting holes on the housing of v45 are wider than the v65 but I was able to swap the actual gauge into the old housing and it was the same.
