    Anyone have a nice one (preferably one that's known to function)? I have pointed lens gauges so I'd be content with either a pointed- or flat-lensed version, but if it's a flat one, I can't use one with the speed alert pin in its face (since I'd want to swap in my pointed lens).

    Wheelz, I wasn't aware there was a difference with their speedos. What makes them unique?

    Bruno's kindly helped me out with a speedo.

    Thanks for all of your offers: I couldn't finish this resto without this board's help.

    Little known fact...1970 speedo's have a red high beam lens. 1971-72 have a blue lens. It's an interesting thing, I don't know if the whole year was red, or if they switched when they made the changes in the Spring (like the lens). The lens is easy to change.

    I had an old replacement speedo (not the one I was looking to replace) which was missing some of those light bayonets in the back. Were these ever installed without some in place, or was this the handiwork of a previous owner?

    All should be in place, you can buy them new or used easily.
