pvmw Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi,A quick question (it needs to be quick, for reasons that will follow).......The reconstruction of the 1916 Maxwell proceeds - rather slower than I'd planned - to the point where I have planks of ash and a bandsaw in operation.On the watch for appropriate fittings, I've spotted a rather nice period speedo in an auction tomorrow (wednesday). I can't get the time off work so I've left a bid on the phone - and then got to thinking.The propshaft is enclosed in a torque tube. I can't from memory (I'm at work and can't check) think of any gearbox fitting that might drive it, there is no gear on a front wheel as is sometimes done, do my question is:-I have several photos of complete cars, and at least one of them clearly shows a speedo, with a drive cable disappearing through the floor. To what is is connected, and does anyone have an example of a speedometer fitted to their car?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
