I've got nothing usefull for you on the speedo, but I think the way to go 
with the diff locks is electric using door lock actuators from a junk yard. 
I'm going to do that to my car first chance I get (which may be a while 
since I'm broke hehe). No more stupid vacuum lines to deteriorate, no more 
brittle plastic connections on the actuators, no more waiting for them to 
lock.

I've cc'ed Mark Besso and Bob D'Amato - they did this to Marks rally car.
