Cb400f speedometer size

<< < (3/5) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's a term I heard back in the 1960s when my Moggie 1000 had a silver faced speedometer and I replaced it with a black one from a Mini. I assumed it was an engineering term iirc it was a four figure number that represented a number of rotations over a fixed distance. Of course the term might have been wrongly remembered by me, it appears TPM might be the correct term.

I see Ted. I've learnt what a Moggie 1000 is now too. Still India's national car isn't it not?

Bryanj:
Nope, that is the Oxford i think, bit bigger

Oddjob:
A Morris Oxford is substantially bigger. My Dad had both a Moggie and an Oxford back in the day. I was driving the Oxford when it got ripped into 2 parts by a drunk driver doing over 100mph in a Daimler Sovereign, ripped the engine bay right off the car, left me with my feet dangling in the air as the firewall went with the engine. Broke my neck at the same time, put my head through the roof (hence the neck) and put my shoulder so hard into the door it burst the lock. Closest I've come to dying, no idea how I walked away from that accident. It was 3 weeks before they spotted the broken neck, still hurts in cold weather and if I wear a helmet too long.

Athame57:
Well wow! The things I learn on the SOHC forums!  ;D
