Mark D Posted August 24, 2018 Report Posted August 24, 2018 hey all - Got a guy calling on me to help him rebuild/service his P10 speedo. The rotating face of the gauge has come apart with age and likely heat. I assume this is old celluloid film it was printed on. Wondering if anyone has rebuilt this with success, or if anyone might have a serviceable unit for sale that I could salvage for parts? Advice appreciated. Mark D . Quote
dpollo Posted August 25, 2018 Report Posted August 25, 2018 the disc in the middle is just a clear plastic of some sort.... whatever was available in 1940..... easy to improve upon, I am sure. My experience with 1940 speedometers goes back 60 years and if a generalization is valid, they all tended to indicate a speed slower than what was being traveled. My current 40 registers a speed which is half the actual speed in kilometers. So if it indicates 30 mph the car's actual speed is 60 kph ! at 50 mph the speed is 100 kph. . Since Canada's speeds are in Kph, I find this to be convenient. The odometer is accurate in miles. Confusing. You bet. 1 Quote
