Clock and RPM housing box

Post by united1 » Wed Mar 11, 2015 11:24 pm

Does anyone know if this is the original clock and RPM box for early sj410? All I know is that it's lamco and it's quite common in south America's sj.

Sort of. The clock looks almost right but the rev counter isn't.
If it ticks over...leave it

That says Ford Escort! The correct ones are VDO as I did sell one no too long ago, but deleted the pics.

It is a bit strange that they'd sell a tachometer with "ESCORT" written all over it! But it appears they did???

this brochure was from Suzuki GB West Sussex. May be they fitted that one.
