Default Altering Mileage on cossie clocks

Right was going to just change the mileage recorder from my orig clocks to the new ones. But think i will use everything of new clocks as that way i know its right and the speedo needle wont have been of etc. Only thing brings me to is how the hell can i alter the mileage on the clocks to match the cars?

Can you not remove the front glass then carefully move the dials around to match the originals ?
Use cotton buds so you don't scratch the numbers, or possibly a sharp point down the side to flick the 'cog' around

Take it you will be increasing the shown miles lol

Know someone who did it on their cos, know they used a battery drill in reverse. Cant remember exactly how, but with the use of an old speedo cable would work, no damage or marks on dials, and as far as I remember all numbers lined up perfectly
