Mending the Smiths Chronometric speedo on my restoration BSA C10 250. please right comments, and subscribe if you like my channel. Hopefully many more projects to come.
A very brave soul, and well worth the watch, I have had the privilege to work on many Smiths Industry gauge’s albeit mostly in aviation. Patience, a good light source and the ability to take a smoke break Priceless. Thanks.
Brilliant video! I have a '63 BSA Rocket Goldstar with a similar speedo and tach. Are all the Smith's speedos of that era chronometric and move in larger increments as opposed to smoothly? Thanks again!
Thank you for a very helpful video. My speedo has the same problem. I'm wondering if you looked at anything other than WD40 for cleaning this mechanism? Presumably jewelers use something to clean fine mechanisms - I suspect it isn't WD40!
WD-40 Worked perfectly for me, but if people can find something better by experimenting, then yes of course. Or just do what I did, which worked for me.
There’s a second hole in the post Pull the post and insert a solid bit of wire about .5 mm and poke it through the bottom hole then let go you can now fit the knob back on the top hole then pull the wire out I did it to mine today 😊😊

How did you change the mileage back to what it was before?
