Good evening everyone,
Would a Smiths MA Speedometer be suitable? It has the number A - 381,557 on the face and numerous patent numbers around the rim of the backing. I've no idea about these as it's not suitable for the Nippy.
It generally looks OK - Silver Face, Nickel (?) bezel nicely "patinated", good glass and 0 - 60 MPH although it rattles a bit and the drive "spike" in the rear appears quite loose. From other comments on here, it maybe needs the ball bearings replacing but, again, I don't know.
Maybe someone on here can confirm or deny whether this could be the basis of a possible solution to the problem. If it looks like it could help, then I'm happy to pass it on and let someone make better use of it than simply gathering more dust in the garage.
Best wishes,
Nick
