Hi Keith,
I'll be using a police speedo in an early (non-police) single hole panel
on my '72 now under reassembly. The bushing the knob turns in on mine is
threaded for a nut to attach it to a panel, not a circlip. Been thinking
about the same question though - where will I mount the reset knob? What
I've come up with so far is to make an "L" shaped bracket with a 12mm
(or is it 14mm?) hole for the knob assy. and a 6mm one to mount it to
the underside of the top plate (or top triple clamp whichever you prefer
to call it). There's a threaded hole already there - depending on which
dash you have it may or may not have a bolt in it. Police and single
hole civilian dashes mount with bolts into the top plugs of each fork
and then two more into the top plate. Double hole dashes don't use the
right side hole in the top plate (if I remember correctly the ground for
the instruments attaches to the left one), so you could attach the
bracket from below with a 6mm bolt. If you need a pic to clarify this, I
can shoot one this weekend. Cheers,

I've got a speedo with a tripometer. The trip reset cable is currently hanging down under the speedo housing. I am mulling over a few ideas to mount this cable either in the housing (drilling a hole in the housing somewhere) or making a bracket and attaching it somewhere near the speedo housing. My question is, does anybody have a speedo with a tripometer, and how does it mount? There seems to be a groove under the reset knob that looks like it accepts a c-clip, but I can't figure out how I am going to mount this cable to a bracket (or the housing) and hold it in place/keep it from moving when I turn the knob to reset the tripometer. Any help, ideas, or better yet, pix would be greatly appreciated. Keith Ruff 70 Cafe Racer Ambo Manahawkin, NJ |
