Hi folks.
Most of my car seems to be '73. But some things don't and that may include
my Speedometer. I recently purchased a new speedometer cable that was
supposed to fit and it doesn't. The speedo end of the cable is too long (by
about 2-3 millimeters) to allow the cap (? the thing that holds the cable
in) to screw onto the speedo. I'm wondering whether it (the speedo) is not
a '73 or maybe not a TR6.
Could it be a spit or GT6 speedo? An Austin Healey speedo?? An
MG/MGA/MGB/Mini/Stag/TR7/TR8/TR1,2,3,4,or 5 speedo??????????
Let me describe it to you. It's round (!), it's black, and it's a Smith's.
It's registered for 140MPH and it fits my TR6 dash perfectly (i.e. the
diameter is a little over 5"). It does differ from my tach in that the
bezels are different. The speedo has a nice chrome one which in cross
section is more rounded than the more angled (and previously black - I
scraped off the black paint) bezel of the tach.
Any insights you can offer will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
(mostly 73 mostly (?) TR6)
