Your kph and mph don't seem to line up though... on yours 60mph lines up with 135kph. It should be 60mph = 96kph.

This one looks like the correct outer for SN4421/13

Thanks for your reply, timmy201

Agree, seems weird.
Anyone had a similar one?

I don't think it is weird, it is a bitsa - a Mk 2 or 3 S outer with non S inner. :geek:
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

thanks, it seems calibrated right to 200 kmh, tho.... :)
Any point in putting on cost to make it "right"?

In case it helps here's the Morris pages from the Smiths Speedo catalogue. I can post the Austin pages if they're of interest. :)

Cracking stuff to see it all on those original sheets ;-)

Love to see the Austin version for the simple hell of it ;-)

Is it possible you could put the "Austin" version up pretty pretty please.
Looking for a speedo but they all seem to be Morris versions.

They are very handy! I just posted the other week that I had found a note of the speedo that used to be in the van, now I can identify it was a 105mph Cooper one for a 3.44 diff. Obviously it's not still there........ but hey, it's good to have a reference to buy a speedo to match your diff

The Austin one would be great to have as well

Many thanks

Al

Great to have this as well - thanks.

Will have to cross ref to see any differences - unless they are already known??
