Another speedometer question

Post by Steve Jelf » Fri Aug 26, 2022 11:36 pm

This clamp bends around the spindle arm to hold the swivel bracket for my Stewart 100. Does it matter which way it's bent? My guess would be no, but I'd rather act on knowledge than guess.

From your photo, the two ends should be bent down. This will result in the plain section of the bend being closer to the spindle arm and thus a tighter fit. That is the way the originals are bent.
