OK browsing through the speedos I have, I found 3 bronze faced ones, the SNN no is 4007/00 1504 then I went to check what's the SNN on my 58 saloon and it's SNN 4406? / 00 1525 , on my 57 Traveller it's SNN 4401/15 1500 the latter most puzzled me as instead of one top middle light it has 2 one indicator indicators on and one indicating high beam can someone pls explain what the SNN nos are correct for the vehicle mentioned? Thanks

PS I tried looking at the excellent potteries branch website but couldn't find any of the nos

SNN just a ref number for the speedo. Not important. What IS important is the tpm number ( 1505/1525/1500) resp in your case - which indicate they are all for use with 4.55 diff.

thanks Roy 2 more questions if I may!

1) if used with 4.55 diff y the different tpms?
2) is the speedo with two upper middle lights correct for a Minor?

Thanks

My 62 has a bronze faced speedo with only one light at the top for the high beams. I don't think minors ever had an indicator light on the speedo as they were either on the dash or the switches.

yes never did I see any Minors like that, wonder what it might have come from, what other cars used bronze speedos?

Yes, it had a lens but nothing behind it . the indicator warning is on the stalk base on mine

come to think of it even my trav has a warning bulb, well at least there was one on the steering column, so there's a good chance mine is also empty, never checked!

Early Minis had silver - and maybe bronze speedos. Think only Mini and Minor share speedo size/design. The variation in tpm numbers is not significant - they are all for 4.55 diff.

I am putting together a chart of speedometers and applications. I am still short of info on late Series IIs and LCVs. I am trying to work out a way of uploading it. My first couple of attempts failed. How do you open the little image box?<br>Image<br><br>

what image box? I think it's from the browse button under the quick reply window

by the way coincidentally this morning I bought another 4 speedos!! one of them is again a bronze face with two top middle lights he told me it was from a Morris Minor also so must be standard fitment

Here is the speedo chart so far. I am short on speedometers for late Series IIs and LCVs. If you have any additions or see any errors please let me know.
Frank, Can you add your new speedos please.

Cheers. When I started this I didn't dream that there would be so many variations.
