[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 158305, member: 3287"] Yes you are correct my handsome, I bought a new one with long thread from Conway's in the 90's ex WD supply in green but it went the wrong way anti clock inn for clock out so I modified a brake plate turned the wheel round and used it on my Rap with fixed speedo and tachometer of 5" variety so left the cable with a bend in it, as forks worked independently reducing sprung weight, the tachometer was from a Jaguar 6 k rpm (more in keeping with speed range) but 2: reduction not 4:1 so came direct off Grosset trigger unit, doing an anti clock wise movement and the speedo going clockwise, so when both needles vertical 80 MPH & 3 k RPM for carousing speed.
