Speedometer-gear compatibly question

Post by Corey Walker » Fri Oct 25, 2019 2:05 pm

I’m building a speedster and have a cut off Overland touring body that this speedometer fits perfectly in a factory hole. I was wondering if this gear, 60 tooth 8 pitch, would be the correct gear used with a 1 1/2 to 1 swivel? If not which gear do I need?

I meant 2 1/2- 1 swivel. I think I need a 58 tooth gear for 21” wheels. I’ve got Model A wheels on an Overland axle with a T frame so I can make any gear fit. I just happened to have the one already.
