Speedo - Hugh Barnes - 24-02-2021
Could someone kindly confirm which model(s) this might have been fitted to?

Hi Hugh,
As long as I know, Chummies up to 1929 had a Speedo bezel with four nuts and a 90º drive outlet. Speedo model PA.
The one shown is a PN and may be have a 45º drive outlet.
Cordially,
Bert

Later (November '27 on) Chummies and saloons also use a PA.
I think the photo shows an early Austin 10 speedometer.

If I remember correctly, my 1934 Austin 10 was fitted with a PN speedo.

Ah, so not 7 then...
Thanks all...

Would the boat tail 2 seater tourer of 29/30 have that speedo, considering that there was an arc shaped cutout in the dashboard to clear the gearlever/ handbrake? So rather than the cable coming down vertically to the speedo take off on the gearbox, the cable was offset. I may be entirely wrong!

Hi
If you are thinking of using it in a Seven the gearing may be wrong. They are not easy to recalibrate unless you use a gearbox on the drive cable.
Cheers
Howard

Actually, seem like this is a topic that was briefly touched on before. A PN is rated at 2240 TPM, it would seem and the Austin 10 connection was mentioned then...

should have searched first. Sorry...
