Speedo Head Question?


Recommended Posts

ok. was just stripping my instrument clusters apart to swap bits over and noticed that the speedo drives are slightly different.

one seems to have some kind of elaborate switching contraption on it???

here is a diagram and some pics of what im talking about. only difference between the two clusters is that this one has a rev counter.

just checked the original speedo cluster that came with the car from japan and that has the strange switch on it too, but it is not connected!!!!

seems like the uk versions of the dials dont have this part on the speedo. any ideas?

im actualy lost

on what the speedos are out of and what your trying to do dude.

i have an ep85 with no rev counter. was taking apart the speedo and just noticed that the new cluster with rev counter has this strange switch bit on it and its connected up on the circuit board.

checked the original kph speedo that the previous owner gave me with the car and that has the same switchy thing on the speedo but not connected.

the mph speedo that the previous owner fitted does not even have this switch on it.

i just wondered what its use is? i know it is a really minor thing that most probably have never noticed but i like to know everything i can :)
