KM speedo restoration



The original speedo that came with the car was in a bad state. I have striped it, greased, zeroed and repainted all parts. It was worth saving as it is slightly different from some of the other early speedos I have seen so far.

The paint for the Nov 61 needle (instrument on the left) is acrylic paint by Deco Art and is called Pure Pumkin. You can see from the photo of the July 62 speedo (on the right)that it is a very close match.
