I want to fit a Russell Engineering RE7 manifold, an HS6 and Ramflo filter to my roundnose with the 1412 in it.
I can get the carby to clear the body, but the filter case fouls the centre speedo cable big time.
No, I am not going to run a road car with no filter... or speedo. :lol:

I seem to recall a thread here that spoke of these 90° speedo drive boxes (a Land Rover part??) but cannot find it.
Methinks one would solve my problem if it's not a bleedin' fortune.

I think its thread may be too big, I've emailed the seller to confirm if will fit.

Same as MGB. Try any B specialist you may know of.

Aha, heritage MG here we come... :P
Around $90 on their site. Is this cheap or dear, I dunno... :?
And is this one on the B speedo or the gearbox? Confusing...

It's the one thats mounted to the back of the speedos.
It's not expensive if you need the part to get the job done. :!:
Do you have English-specific wreckers over there? Surely someone could point you in the direction of a secondhand one.

I picked up this Smiths right angle drive on eBay some time ago. I'm pretty sure it's the Mini speedo thread but would have to check. I won't be able to get to it for a few days.

Doc - you are welcome to try it and send it back if it doesn't work out. The one's on eBay usually go for around GBP 50 (that's what I paid).

P6 Rovers with the strip speedo also have the 90 degree fitting which I reckon will have the right threads for a Mini speedo. The gearbox driveswill be too big.

Kev, I'm running a HS6 on a Russell inlet with a Ramflow filter and it clears the speedo cable fine. Maybe it's because I machined the manifold to point the carb up a bit?
I just can't get full choke operation because the jet will hit the body on full choke

That one is a 1:1 ratio. Many of the angle drives are not.
