You guys are all as smart as a sack of hammers, the OP is looking for an analog clock, not a trip computer. I never had any trip computers back in my youth, but there were speedos.

Those older clocks are out there, but hard to find. If it was me, I would just get an ebay speedo, pull the face off and replace the numbers for mph equivalent, and put face back on.
Funny! When we were kids I had a friend that we called "hammer head".

Chain lube, that did cross my mind, my computer printing skills might not be up to that challenge! I guess I could black out the KMH numbers and possible find some small numbers with a sticky backing to put in the right areas.

I also saw the amazon Kmh/Mph version, lol, but darn it this is the USA and I dont want MPH subordiante to KMH. Were fought two World Wars on the inch pattern and Im sticking to it.... LOL I was a tool and die maker for over 40 years, and started in the inch world and saw metrics gain a footing only because of imports....once while inside some large machinery, a German engineer asked me if I was using a inch sized tap or a metric one, I said it was a 1/4-20 tap he said I should be using a metric tap. I said the closest is 6 mm and is slightly smaller and this one was nearby so, if you want this piece of machinery back up and running fast to keep from shutting BMW down I need to keep using it, if not I will have to walk back to another building about 400 yards away to get a 5mm drill and the 6mm tap, so I would suggest you look at this tap as being a 6.35 x 1.27 tap

Don't use the counter or ignore it. All you need is some sticky #s, you can get them on a sheet in any size. Google will tell you where to put them.
 
Heres a couple MPH speedometers and you'll need a speedo gear and speedo cable

you can find these on eBay for $30
 
I have an analog speed-o on my Kent that reads only in "Klicks". An old fashion label maker fixed that right up!
10 k = 6 mph
20 k = 12.5 mph
30 k = 18.5 mph
40 k = 25 mph
50 k = 30 mph
Note that I rounded some of those off. ;)
Hope that's helpful.
