Re: bracket

Hello John.

Is it for BSA M20?
There are quite a few on ebay.
From time to time you can find original ones.

Cheers,

Re: bracket

I can see a picture now.

The speedo has a trip so its obviously not for a military machine, but they are all the same 2 bolt mounting configuration, the bracket varies depending on the make, model and year so perhaps you will need to say what you are going to fit it too.

Re: bracket

Yes, it is for my BSA m20 with telescopic forks.

Re: bracket

I've got the 1949-58 BSA "M" spares list but it only pictures the nacelle, but I suspect the first tele M20 may have used the central mount like the pre war models?

Hopefully someone with more postwar knowledge will step in here.

Re: bracket

Through the link from Noam I found a bracket on Ebay from Dragenfly

Thanks

Re: bracket

That looks like a magnetic clock. Do they use the same stud spacing ?

Re: bracket

Rik, this is the actual clock (Indian) I bought on Ebay. The stud fits the fork. I asked dragenfly if it will hold the clock.

Re: bracket

Hello Johan.

I mounted one of these speedos on my WM20- 41'.
It works great, but the reading is quite accurate as Km/h,
Although it stated "Miles" on the face of it.

I do have a good original NOS Smiths, but I prefer to keep it safe, at home...
When I tried to install the repro with the original bracket, I could not,
Because (Please note at photos hare)the cable port is eccentric on the Smiths,
Whilst on the Indian repro it is centered, so on the older M20
It clashed with the bracket.
Secondly, the mounting screws on the Smiths are placed vertically,
And on the Indian - horizontally,
So it would probably not be suitable as a direct replacement, but with few
Adjustments, It would probably work.

Re: bracket

Noam, I do not understand what you mean with: "Secondly, the mounting screws on the Smiths are placed vertically, and on the Indian - horizontally,".

With the bracket from Dragenfly there is no problem with the centered cable port.

Re: bracket

On the Smiths speedo looking at the face as if using it the mounting studs are at 12 o clock and 6 o clock. On the Indian made ones the studs are at 9 o clock and 3 o clock

Re: bracket

What Ian said...

When I took the photos, I rotated the speedo on it's vertical axle.

Cheers,
Noam.
