I strongly agree with what zen said about the seat position. Its tottaly ctitical.I ve got the same problem in my 1303.im using the stock seats with a luisi steering wheel which is about 30cm dia and i cant see from 30 to 130km/p. Im planning on using a sparco steering wheel (either lap5 or mugello) and also sparco torino2 seats (reclining) and also fit the speedo about 2cm higher (to clear the bottom part this time) depending on the length of the new boss.


Try to imagine this: by looking at the car with the driver's door open focus on the dash/steering wheel part. observe that there is an imaginary triangle.

This is formed by the centre of the speedo towards its lower end then allong the steering boss to the streering wheels plate and back to the speedos centre.

Now if you lower your head's position you will be able to see more of the top part of the speedo.but your steering wheel may still be in the middle.
