Can't find a proper picture of Speedwell SU dashpot covers and any info in the catalogues.
I know that some appears on Ebay from time to time but what does they look like?
I have been proposed a pair and have no idea of an average price for them.

Re: Speedwell dashpot covers
The original Speedwell ones were spun brass that was chrome plated, the modern ones sold as "Speedwell" are spun polished aluminium.
I assume you haven't got a copy of Andreas's fantastic Speedwell slide collection. I suggest you get one asap. They are by far the best reference to original speedwell stuff anywhere.

Re: Speedwell dashpot covers
They look as right as right can be.
Not my cup of tea though
They also did a variation in the very late 60's / early 70's. You can see that here;
