So, I was wondering why the odometer wasn't working when I bought the car.
Cable broken?(didn't drive the car) Missing parts........?????????????

After searching & reading several topics on speedo's, Doc & morris 1100 said all Aussie motors had the same gearbox pinion drives & the speedos were changed to suit the different diff ratios.

Does anyone have a list of the different TPM/TPH that were available here on Aus?

My question is, as i don't have any other clubman 2 or 3 gauge dash to compare with, can i simple find a dash with the correct TPM/TPK and swap over the missing bits? or I'ld be guessing it would be easier to pull out mine and swap in a working one?

My other challange is that I'm most likely going to swap from my current 3.44 diff to a 2.9 & I'm running 12" rims!

Cheers Shane

This is a good site to start with

You will need the pinion and speedo drive from the correct model (check out the link above it will calculate the one you need)

the 2.9 diff came out of a 12 inch wheel car, so it will mostly be pay the money and get the right bits which are exspensive by the way.

I need to sort out mine and are going to draw the cogs up in cad and get them plastic printed on a 3d printer. Its on the last thing to do list. Mine is running 3.1 diff on 10 inch wheels witha 1275GT speedo which is a little harder to sort.

I have a TPI calculator some whare if you find the Guesswork link dosn't sort you out

I thought the bit made made the speedo work depending on what diff, was down in the gearbox/diff somewhere??

correct, they are both in the gearbox

Only in UK (later) cars, not in Oz.
All Oz cars had the same speedo drive pinion and gear in the main gearbox- different speedo heads were used for the different diff ratios.
eg Cooper S (3.44 diff and 10" wheels) speedo head is 1280 turn per mile.
I have had 2 bigwheel Moke 140KMH speedos- one is 800turns/km and the other 860.

Remember Oz production ceased in 1978- most of this plethora of strange drive gear combinations in the gearbox happened in UK after that (ie the Rover era).

I may have labelled the tread wrong, as the speedo actually works when spun, ie it give a kph reading, however the odometer fails to turn for the obvious of missing gears.

Doc as you can see on the 3rd photo down it's a 780 TPK/TPM, which is why I included that photo. Do you know if the drive gears for the odometer are common across the Aus speedos?

Kiwiinwgtn, yeah I've been checking out Guessworks alot recently due to a couple of gearbox rebuilds in the very near future and have sus'd their Tech info, but it doesn't cover the Aus stuff unfortunately. I think I'm still going to have to change the gearbox worm & pinion drive gears to match the 2.9 diff, I'ld like the speedo to be half acurate, ha ha ha, if that's possible. I'm too used to driving to a tacho not a speedo in a mini!

Yep it is 780 turns/km, = 1263 turns/mile. = near enough for a 3.44 diff (Cooper S was 1280).

All the odometers work in a similar fashion (ratchet and pawl) the differences are in the worm gear (you can see) and the driven gear + pawl it drives (I can't see).
I would pack it off to a speedo place for repair.

[edit] If you can find a late Oz Clubby 998 speedo (they used 3.44 diff mostly) rob these bits from it..

Heres a pic of a OZ speedo

looks like a cam is mssing on yours

Thanks for that Doc, I'll keep an eye out for 1 in the For Sale section!

I thought the made in UK was a little odd for an Aus speedo. Also mine has the quick clip style speedo cable connection while yours is a threaded one. That's what you get when you buy someone elses project, a lot of unknowns.

Cheers Shane

All Oz fitted speedos were made in UK up until around 1968-69, when Mini K and Mk2 S etc got Oz ones.
My 2 Moke 140KMH speedos are both made in UK.

I have found a OZ Speedo in a box of bits if you want a pic of the cam etc

Hi kiwiinwgtn, pics would be great! Guess-works don't really have a photo that I can see.

Cheers Shane
