Hi

Searched but not found anything, has anyone done a KPH overlay for an early TD speedo. Alternatively is there a supplier?

thanks

Hi Barry, I have, for sale, a dial face with a decal on it as shown in my picture. I do not know any supplier for these.

There is a chap in Holland who makes dials. He is retired and is not into mass production and only sells at shows. He does both the ndished and flat versions and also has clocks.
His products are top!!

Lew Palmer makes decals for the Triple M instruments. Maybe he can do T-Series as well?

These are not decals they are complete re-manufactured dials.
I fitted it this morning. Using the two espresso spoons to pop off the needle.
The dial fit perfectly.

When I did that once and had the needle bounce off the ceiling ;-)

Great--- I sent you a message through your email address. Again Thanks

Gents,

After looking at clock repair tools on the web I heated a small screw driver and bent about 3/8 inch of the tip to 45 degrees. Then I cut a notch like a mini crowbar. Works great for removing the instrument needles. Saved a bunch of dollars.

If the kph dials are custom made, it would be an easy way to adapt to a modified diff ratio w/o an extra speedo gearbox (if the odometer is not important)
