Chronometric Speedometer

Sesman:
OK, completely off marque this one…..so apologies to all Honda owners, off which I am one!

Basically this is an appeal to our forum community for smiths Chronometric spare parts. I’m hoping some members have may some legacy Chronometric parts deemed to be uneconomically repairable. I’m attempting to salvage my old Speedo and tacho from a box of bits and any help would be greatly received.

The main problems at the moment are the trip meter drums which I can’t source from mainstream suppliers. There are other issues with the timing mechanism, counter weights and cams. I’m hoping to salvage a solution from whatever I can scrounge/harvest🫣

Cheers 🤞

There used to be an advert in the back of Classic Bike for a firm that repaired them but i stoped subscribing a few years back so dont know if its still there

Sesman:
Hi, Bryanj.

There are a few folks offering rebuilds and repairs, but that’s not how I roll. I’ve also been in touch with trade suppliers, none of whom can supply some of the items I seek. I’m DIY to the hilt.

Basically I’m on a Burke and Hare Chronometric mission. This is an appeal for Chronometric  dead bodies please…

Regards

Pip

Bryanj:
I think you will find those jealously guarded by old(in both senses) british enthusiasts

Sesman:
Yes, the old bike boys definitely hoard their scrap…and never do anything with it.

I’ve had some luck amongst the more enlightened brigade, picking up the odd useful item here and there with some bartering. It doesn’t harm to ask as there are still sympathetic, generous and benevolent types out there who will release stuff at a reasonable cost or some trading.

I’ll widen my search pattern if I don’t have any luck on the forum.
