Speedometer 18 roadster.....

Post by Angmar » Fri Dec 13, 2019 2:12 pm

Questions for those who know speedometers.

What kinds of speedometers would have been used on an 18 roadster? (no dash to mount it to).
Is there someone in the club who rebuilds and sells complete setups including cables and gears?

Anyone have photos to share of what some of these would look like installed on a roadster without a dash?

Thanks in ad advance.

Many came with brackets to vertical mount. And many had optional dash boards, owners that sprung for $$ accessory like a speedometer usually went upscale!
