Smith's Replica anti clockwise speedometer
 
I got the Smith's replica gauge set for my Sunbeam. 140 mph speedometer, 100-300 F water temp, volt meter, VDO type fuel gauge, 0-100psi oil pressure and 8000rpm tach. The tach is mechanical so I was going to use that face on an electric tach or modify a Tbird Yblock tach drive distributor to work with the SB 260. Made in India but the quality looks as good as the original. I'll paint the needles flourescent orange. Anyway, here is the link, you would need a cable reverser behind the speedometer too. They have an anti clockwise tach also.

I have seen those instruments at below fire sale pricing that come from India. I have a feeling you will be VERY disappointed with them.
If a deal looks too good to be true it probably is..... or so they say.
I await your delivery and operation results....
Hope I’m wrong....

I bought them they look pretty good the Speedo does not have a tripomater witch is a big giveaway
But I don’t think the small gauges are detectable that they’re fakes but you should probably pick up a Lucas amp meter anyway ..I think there better then auto meter gauges or SW for the look

Did you buy the anti clockwise speedometer? If so you need a reverser angle drive mounted to the back of the speedometer. On my set the temp gauge requires a 100-300 F sender and the fuel gauge takes a VDO type sender. Mechanical tach. I think I'll use the can and face plate on my electric tach. I thought about getting a Tbird Yblock tach drive distributor and using the 289 drive gear. The speedometer and tach use 18mm x 1.5 nut. You can get them from speedometer shops online. Common motorcycle size.

I have a Lucas AMP meter that I will be looking to sell or trade for a Lucas or SMITHS Volt meter... Black face/white lettering
