Most of the remaining classic instrument repairers (very few) left in sydney work from home. We bought out Olympic Instruments many years ago ( Doc :D ) and KTT Services in Croydon last year. Consequently we see a lot of instruments from Sydney not to mention Brisbane etc. All we need is a simple roll test to confirm the calibration. Accuracy will be at least as good as a GPS and the speedo will not only be original, it will work from the moment you move the car. Regards Rodger Howard

I've come to the realisation that the speedo in my 76 clubmand is wrong by a good 10-15kph. It reads about 75ish when I'm really only doing 60.
Has anyone else got this problem and is there a way to fix it without having to get any new parts? ie; is it just a recalibaration job?

Cheers,
Podge


I have a speedo repair PDF " Jaeger & Smiths " if you'd like it ...... its around 1 mb so can probably email it to you.

So if you want a copy just pm me your email addy

Cheers Bill

I can't find any video of GK doing that joke...but I just spent the last half hour watching hilarious clips of him...there hasn't been an entertainer since that has even half the talent of that man
