Hi all, does anybody know if a 1959 gold front speedo head can be changed for another year speedo, I have a speedo that is behaving very erratically, needle sticking, reading slow etc, I have stripped it but cannot improve it, any idea's appreciated.

You have to make sure that the speedo you replace it with has the same 'TPM' in order to make sure the reading you are get is accurate. The 'TPM' number can be found on the face of the speedo. A photo showing where to find the number can be found in this thread here:

The only later speedo with the same TPM is for the LCVs. That is black and has a 90mph face.
Don't mess about, buy a 2nd hand speedo for around £10 and fit that.
