years? unknown... but there are at least two
standard speedos used... one at 1000 tpm and
one at 1280 tpm. The difference in the B and Midget
is more the speedo drive gear in the tail of the
tranny than the speedo itself.
Earlier model B's varied based on O/D, non O/D.
Later cars all used the same speedo with or without
O/D
did I scramble that... early morning thinking
after a rough night of drinking :-)

I just happen to have one on my desk right now.
80mm SN-5227/06 TPM 1280 Probably out of a non-od 1968-74 (?) MGB.
