Re: Speedo in pieces

Me too!
I'm not over confident but have got a second gps speedo to see what I can do.

Speedo in pieces

Thanks to Clay, I have a spare speedo to play with. The plan is to swap a gps mechanism into it, but to keep the original pie graph style readout. I'm not sure how that is going to go, but thought that it might be of interest to pull it apart and see what's going on.

Instead of a needle, the ...

Re: Project 2.

Info needed:
I am after an ignition switch that will fit the dash hole that has an accessory position. Do EH switches or HD/HR switches fit our dash? And if so, does the key barrel swap?
Thanks, B

Re: Spare EK speedo?

Thanks Clay. Sounds ideal. Don't need it to work, just look good. Thought I would see if I could set up the speed indicator onto a gps drive and get it to look old school.

Spare EK speedo?

Anyone out there got a spare speedo they dont want? I'm chasing a spare speedo with a good scratch free glass. I am going to see if I can convert one to gps internals but dont want to mess up my good one. Many thanks,
Brett

Re: Project 2.

Pics I took before I had pipe made. You can see extractors are miles away from chassis kit and gearbox crossmembers etc.

Re: Project 2.

Yes, PH 5004. No issues with chassis kit or anything else. They are about 15mm from steering idler arm support, but not close to anything else.

Re: GPS speedometer advice

Took it for a run today. Works well speedo is accurate to other gps device. Tacho is still a bit twitchy but adjustment is easy. For $100 it is a good bit of kit. Would probably go for black instead of chrome if I did it again.

Re: Project 2.

A bit of an update. Pacemaker headers fitted and instant improvement. Had to make a pipe to move across to the mufler which is closer to the sill. Also had to change my power supply to starter slightly, to make a bit of space. The headers are a good fit on the head and bolt on evenly with the ...

Re: GPS speedometer advice

There is a 140km option but also with 8000 rpm tacho and 80mm diameter which is too small.
Quite happy to be able to read to 4000rpm at halfway point, which is common enough on my runs. Have been operating without a tacho for 12 months and will enjoy having that little one not taking up extra space.

Re: GPS speedometer advice

Bit the bullet and bought $100 special from ebay. Arrived today. 110mm size fits straight in the hole and clamps up perfectly. Dont know if it goes ok, but certainly installs easily.
