Visual diffs between swb & lwb speedo

Bob Ajob:
Hey all,

I'm looking for another speedo for my lanny. I currently have a swb speedo for my 205-16 tyres, though will be soon purchasing 750s (already on wheels).

Are there any easy ways to spot if a speedo at an autojumble is a long wheel base speedo?

Thanks,
Bob.

Hey, your probably bidding on my wheels and tyres, when I ran them on mine kept the standard speedo head, just found that it read under what I was actually doing... I'm guessing that it was out by maybe 3 -5 mph. Don't hold me to any thing though. I know where you can get a genuine new one though  :!:

Cheers

Bob Ajob:
Hey Matt,

That'll be me then!!.
If it's only 3-5 difference, and only just under, then I may not bother changing the speedo, will measure before and after speeds with my Brother's GPS.

Will have to have a chin wag anyway when down to collect

Cheers,
Bob.

The difference is more than just 3-5mph.  It's more like a 10mph difference at 40-50mph.

Simple solution, don't bother changing it.  When going through places such as where there are speed cameras, slow down so the traffic infront begins to leave you behind and the traffic behind you starts to catch you up. :)

Or put a mark on the glass when you can check the speeds with a gps
