Ah, OK, I wasn't thinking that modern, sorry!

Rick, interesting, but probably from 1933ish, so before our interest, but appreciate you sending the link!

Thanks Rik, will investigate B4's more closely too.

Have had Royal Enfield info from Jan too, and Matchless info I have from Simon.

But that only gives numbers, so I'd like to give every type of speedo their appropriate number, so it will be very easy to see in the parts list, what contract had which speedo.

Back to the drawing board,

The Norton speedo and bracket with very low miles that Jan got from France is dated 11/39 on an ali plate and both parts are finished in KG No.3 (It is of course a non-illuminated, non-trip). Definitely a Norton bracket (and correct Jaeger cable, I know that as it's on mine now ).

Unfortunately, I can't see if I've got a record of the type spec. from the rear plate.

Magdyno plates changed from ali to brass around 1940 - 41 based on what I've seen.

I imagine from the construction that the Smiths type cable was cheaper to make (although the threaded connection would have been dearer). It looks as if BSA changed over at the same time as they introduced the 'pancake' style drive instead of the brake plate mounted type.

Hi,
In my quest to try get an original Speedo for my 1944 WM20, I recently found this.

Anyone know what year and what bike it was for? It seems to have some military paint on it (brown/rust).

I think those with a yellow line at 30 are usually the Jaeger spigot drive type?? Which is not correct for your bike. At some point the pointed bezel was changed to the round type also. Ron

Hi Ron, the fitting is this one.

Its possible someone fitted this dial to a different speedo..

I had the same question on FB recently, this a very rare in-between model, with a plexiglass glass.

It's 1941ish, not much info about them at all. I have one myself.

Cheers,

Hi Lex, that’s right it does have plexi-glass. I thought someone fitted this as aftermarket.

It's a rare clock. Worth putting on the shelf and admiring. It would be a shame to do a service-exchange with it.
