db17 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Hi, everyone. I am looking for the speedometer for a 1929 Standard Six. I have included a picture so if anyone has an extra one or knowledge of where I can locate one I would appreciate it if you would pass me the information. The second picture is what I believe I need. Thanks in advance. Edited April 22, 2015 by db17 add picture (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Lawson Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 db17 Hi mate These Speedometers have a pot metal frame and we all know the horrors of that invention I wish you luck I think patience is going to be your answer Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db17 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thanks Ron for your response. Did I just pick a bad year (1929) or were they all that way? meaning the distributor, carburetor and now the speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Lawson Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My 2249 is a October '27 off the assembly line and I have the POT METAL CURSE too This problem was not to DB cars only it was across the board Evidently the recipe that was used in the early pot metals was not thoroughly tested ( i was told by an old Uncle that it had to much zinc in it) and I believe problems were encounted early on as the pot metals made in the late '30s seemed to be of better quality Also you can add the starter and generator end plates to your list as the are pot metal as well All I can suggest is keep an eye on flea bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
