Looking a 1960 SR with twin clocks. The rev counter is driven from the oil pump.

Normally fitted is a RC 1303/03 but the one I'm looking at has a RC 95 fitted.

Can anybody advise if a RC 95 and 1303/03 are interchangeable as I cant find any spec or details on a RC 95?

Thanks for the very useful link Wilko.

However, it does not help with the question as to whether the RC 95 is a correct rev counter for an oil pump driven Super Rocket as it does not list it?

Is it reverse drive or normal? Stick an old piece of cable in it and spin it. Looks like it's for a Matchy or AJS twin. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9383961@N05/2981803167/in/set-72157608455625820

This might not be much more help but....

BSA's use a RC83 when its driven by the magneto pinion, unfortunately I cant find a listing for the oil pump driven ones. The RC1303/03 is a 3:1 ratio anti clockwise.

The RC95 will fit most Velocettes, Nortons and AMC twins (AJS/Matchless)

If you go down this list to Smiths there are different years for the instruments. I was too lazy to go through them all!  http://www.flickr.com/photos/9383961@N05/collections/72157606126399856/

Sprint,
The RC95 is 4-1 clockwise, so they are not interchangeable. The 1303/03 is the only 3-1 anticlockwise that Smiths made so You have to find one or a specialist can convert some other clock to 3-1 acw to You.
