The speedometer/odometer in question is a Smiths unit, with the "1000" figure on the face, which; /html/spitfires/2003-02/msg00238.html (9,071 bytes)

It may be that I do have very poor acceleration, but I just don't realise; /html/spitfires/2003-02/msg00243.html (11,773 bytes)

Perhaps your replacement box came from a Marina or Midget 1500...or a Spitfire specified for export. C; /html/spitfires/2003-02/msg00245.html (8,989 bytes)

I don't think John's on this list, though he's a regular on the spitfire-enthusiast yahoo group and (as you know) the Herald group.

Thanks for that. I unsubscribed from the spitfire-enthusiast group some time ago, and the question would be off-topic on the Herald group, so I'll dr; /html/spitfires/2003-02/msg00253.html (11,618 bytes)

And it looks as though the speedo/odo drive gear may well be wrong. How do I get it out?

It is possible to have a complete GT6 gearset in there - there are companies which specialise in fitting close ratio gear sets, it's just not a simple matter; /html/spitfires/2003-02/msg00256.html (10,223 bytes)

I can rule out the gearbox altogether then. As far as this problem is concerned, I now know that I don't actually need to check this any more.

It seems to me that a gearbox out of a GT6 would be assuming a different final driveratio and therefore a different speed at any given rpm even in direct 4th.
