Chrome Ring Around Speedo??!

[bluemoggie1970]

Hi, I'm looking at replacing the chrome ring around my speedo as mine has pitted and going a bit rusty. Does anyone know if you can get this part separate or does it have to be part of the whole speedo?

Many thanks

The bezel is a seperate piece, so it should be available - somewhere.

Ok thanks......anyone know where??!!

there are a few speedos on ebay

[bluemoggie1970]

Thanks, but I only need the ring around the speedo.

It is always useful to have a spare speedo

[bluemoggie1970]

Yeah, although that's true. I don't wanna spend £40 or £50 on something i don't need just for the ring around it.

Thanks though.

It seems no one sells this replacement part!

You could inquire about the cost of having your's re-chromed.

[bluemoggie1970]

Yeah I may have to do that. Thanks

The speedo chrome will get pitted over time due to age. Just keep an eye out at autojumbles, rallies etc for a speedo in better condition than the one you have. I had to replace my speedo recently as it had stopped working and I got a good secondhand one for £10 with a chrome ring that was better than the original one (still had some pitting though). Unless you're wanting to get your car to 'concours' standard though I wouldn't worry too much about it. A little bit of pitting and rusting all adds to the character

Very true! Thanks!
