I work in engineering so was easy to make parts needed but still remember, measure 10x and cut once

Hi, I dismantled the original speedo and fitted the insides from a digital speedo. the pick up for the speedo comes from the front disc bobbins, there is a formula to accurately set up the speedo, I will take some photos later today to give you a clearer understanding. mine works perfect and is accurate and also keeps the lovely three clock assembly.

I Can do custom clocks..a set I did for a GT750 Dunstall.. They were a bit tired, and said to the owner, I could make them better.. It's a very satisfying finish.. Special retro finish, on the body's..
