Great help I have speedo case but where can I get quartz unit hands and most difficult the right face many thanks keep info coming that way none of us will buy and pay a lot money to dodgy dealers
I drew up hands and had some laser cut out of 0.6mm alloy sheet. I also had some vinyl stickers printed. I have a set left and am happy to send them to you gratis. Send me your name and address and I’ll post them.

I also used the UTS movement. I ride my bike a lot on rough rural roads and found that I needed a mount that would absorb shocks better. I ended up using 1” closed cell foam cut to hold the movement and push into the case with a snug fit. To change the battery or time I just remove the bezel and glass holder and push up through the bottom of the housing. This setup has now survived in the real world for 5000 often bumpy miles.

Stan,
I've done a search and it appears that John Chadwick of MJC is no longer trading.
But I'd love to be proved wrong...

Getting the correct clock face can be a difficult and expensive trial. In the end, I gave up trying to find someone who had a perfect replica for the original speedo face on my early 1936 TTComet and settled for the one shown here. Spot the differences?

Don't get excited about the banana Marcus - it just happened to be the nearest suitable object to support the parts to take the photo!

Yes Peter H, an interesting change of emphasis regarding country of manufacture - also the different Patent details.

And yes Marcus, I used the original case having no hole for a light. Mine's a 1935/6 TTC. Later models may have had the light hole too... who knows for sure?
