Default I need speedo info (pronto!) 😄

Does anyone one know if there's a 2:1 ratio, cable driven speedometer, that will fit into a 1999 FLSTC tank console?

I'm customizing a '94 sportster for a guy I know, who desperately wants it to look like a big twin (don't ask.......) he has a pair of 5 gallon tanks that I've mounted to the frame & he just showed up today with a console. I can make or modify mountings for the speedo, so it doesn't need to be exact.The standard clock is too small, all I have are electronic units, or FL clocks (wrong drive ratio) & I'm on a bit of a time crunch here!

The 80's FXST Springers have front wheel driven and console mounted speedometers. IDK if the ratio is 2:1 or 2240:60
