Ron,
The Tiger has the ONLY Smiths/Jaeger Speedometer that uses US standards
for the speedometer cable housing and inner core (Ford). This allows
speedo shops to make new inner cores, and outer housings, from existing
tooling and parts. Sometimes they don't know this.
There are also US made gear set boxes for adjusting the cable turns/mile
that fit in the speedo cable run with an added cable end. This allows
corrections for tire size and rear end ratio without rebuilding the
speedometer. Smiths gears are sometimes not available for the ratio's
you need, and you end up with the speedometer correct, but the odometer
in error. (BTDT). Speedo shops (especially those for trucks) carry and
build-up these sets.

/Restoration Tips, to be released today. (Notice will be posted)
