I'm not sure that I can really see what's going on there..The boss looks too large and long for a Jaeger type. Is it a screw type with a stripped thread and someone has tried to make up an adapter to hold the cable (which seems to be too short) ?
I think it's going to take a closer higher resolution photo to understand.
The face with yellow line is as per the pre-war type, but I have an idea that it may have continued a little longer. They can be mixed and matched of course.
I've zoomed in as much as I can and can't see any resemblance of a thread on the boss. It has the earlier pointed bezel and as you say Rik, the yellow 30mph line. Neil can you take it, or the cable off when you can for a better picture of the back. My moneys on Jaeger type. Ron
Hi Ron, an update for you, I sent the speedo to Philip Woods for a new glass and a recondition, he confirmed to me that it requires a pin drive cable, , someone had fashioned an adapter for a square drive cable. He put me on to JJ Cables who I will contact shortly, hopefully I’ll get to the bike shortly and fit the parts , I’ll post my findings. Best regards Neil
Hi neil. Yes I posted contact details for Dave at JJ Cables in and earlier post. To save you phoning him about the length, this is how he will advice you:-
Mount the speedo and with a tailors tape, measure from the ends of the threads on both speedo and gearbox ie the outer cable length. Tell him that's how you measured it and he'll know the rest. Ron
