chronometric dial and needle wanted

[spanersc]

Hi all. Does anyone know a source of new chronometric spares? I'm looking to buy a new dial and needle to improve the appearance of my A10SR speedo, it works perfectly but the printing is very faided and discoloured. I can find lots of people to recondition my unit but no one just to sell the parts, any ideas?
 Thanks in advance. Peter

I had some chronometric spares from this chap: http://www.chronometricspeedos.co.uk/ quite expensive but seemed to know his stuff.

Most reconditioners should be able to supply these or it would be a crappy job if they couldn't!

I agree Wilko but they all only seem to be interested in overhauling the whole instrument for me!      I'll give David Woods a call as suggested by iansoady.  Thanks, Peter

Hey Pete, I saw some of those(faces) on fleabuy not long ago, some guy in the USofA when I was after info re;speedo ID. I think I just googled in ' Smiths Chronometric Speedo'-can probably dig it from my history if need be.
Not heavily related but will post this link

I think he's the guy I bought my speedo from a while back, but has retired now but interesting site to cruise around. Long story will quit while I'm ahead.

Good one Dutch. Luv looking at old pics. 1/2 waydown the japanese sidecar must be hinged. And when did BSA make a 500 V twin? Great site.
Cheers

Hi Muskrat,
just chiming in  here re the BSA Vtwin, Yes they made a beautiful ohv 500 model J12 in the early to mid thirties
very rare and sought after now!!!, see here, http://home.planet.nl/~leonhop3/1935_e.html

Still kicking myself that I didnt buy a 750ohv I was offered back in 198? 

Also speaking of BSA V twins does anyone know the origins of this ""special"" on fleabay

 Looks like someone edited my post  .
When I wrote japanese I should have wrote J.A.P. as in the motor builder 
Now that's my sort of Beeza John, got it saved just to watch.
Didn't know about the G12.
Cheers
