Has anyone got a 1 or 2 MK1 speedos in any condition that they would part with.

Hi Colin,
The Smiths speedo is listed as being the same as the British Carrier one, the numbers on the face are:
A-787169
X25660
and it is marked as 0-40 mph
This is from the original speedo fitted to Platypus.
Also the Smiths rev counter is same size and similar appearance, markings as below;
R-R 9955
2-1
marked as 0-4000 rpm

Will email you soon with other info re. electrics and instruments.

regards, Richard
