Subject: Re: M45 Speedometer / spares/advice / wanted
HI Folks
IMHO an M45 speedo can be repaired easily using bits from other less worthy scrap speedos. I do not pretend to be a "guru" and do not know what is meant by "bushes on the input shaft being out of alignment".
However if you do not mind playing with millions of little balls I think the existing speedo can be repaired - or rather the adaptor,dial and above all bob weights swapped over to the guts of an old 60 MPH unit. These can still be found at Beaulieu. The faulty casing can be scrapped.
I did one of these a few months ago. I also re-balled my M45 rev counter - which works a treat. Yes it is a little fiddly but IMHO there is absolutely no reason why the guts should be replaced by a modern unit.
