Oval vs. Round Speedometer

I have an early 1930 Roadster with the oval speedometer. My instrument panel is very corroded and I may have to have it restored. I was able to find a very nice original Instrument Panel for the late 1930-31 Round Speedometer.

Can I change from the Oval to the Round Speedometer and change the speedometer cable?

As others have stated, no they are not interchangeable. Mounting holes, speedos and speedo cables are different. Post a “Wanted” in the Swap Meet section of the Barn and I’m sure you can find a good one (repops vary in quality). I found one at a swap meet last year for (I think) $25. Had it replated and it’s gorgeous.
 
Thanks guys. I was afraid of that. I have a couple of oval reproduction instrument panels. I have one that I bought from a guy that was going to hot rod his car and it has the gauges, the lock and the complete dash light. I’ll probably use that.
