I unfortunately had some items stolen from the lockup where my basket case 1956 BSA Road Rocket was stored. I need a speedometer, tachometer / revcounter RC 83 and ammeter. Not sure which models/parts numbers I need but the speedo was a 546/3/L I know they are rare but for the right instruments I am willing to pay a good price. WHY ? Please help
Thanks in advance.
I am in Texas USA

My project didn’t have any clocks, found a speedo for a Golden Flash with nacelle in not so good condition and wanted to have the twin clock configuration for my Super Rocket. Sent my speedo to be restored/converted and purchased a restored original rev counter from the following.

Was highly recommended to me and now I’am happy to highly recommend them!

Hi I have just bought a Gold Flash in bits and amongst the boxes of bits I have found a Smiths Chronometric Speedometer model S546/3  ( no "L" ) and a rev counter 1302/02. I believe they are from a 1958 BSA DBD500 Gold Star.  Both work and will need cases painting and cleaning no doubt. I can send pictures of course but they may not be the models you want.  They are genuine Smiths not pattern parts.

let me know  if you are interested, I prefer to sell as a pair.

Regards

Barry
