Visual diffs between swb & lwb speedo

<< < (3/3)

Rich_P:
Dave, it's the same term across the country.  Be it in the midlands, south of England or right up where you are the same term is still applied.  At least that is how I have always found it.

Yes. There are small 4-digit numbers on the face. 1536 is for a SWB. There are others for SWB and for unusual things like One Tons but for a standard LWB (with 7.50s) you need 1408.

40-50 flat out? I think not!

Bear in mind my "tired" S2A petrol does 60 on the flat and has nearly attained 75 (down Tibshelf hill, M1 northbound  :shock: ) although it killed some oil seals.

Oh yeah and bob-a-jobs series 3 has a Ford V6 engine  :lol:

Steve.

For the sake of completeness a speedometer for 900x16 tyres would have the digits 1344 on it.

Devon-Rover:
SWB speedo = 1536 therefore for 6.00 6.50 tyres QED 205 / 235/70's
LWB speedo = 1408 therefore 7.00 7.50 tyres QED 235/85

and as dan says, FC / one ton speedo = 1344 therefore 9.00 tyres.

Providing the numbers are close to this then thats the speedo that is matched to the original tyres by the factory. as above it is much easier to find a replacement speedo.
