Default 11 set wireless ammeter cover

Gents, I've done a short run of these covers cast in every detail from an original, they are £10 each. Please pm me if you want one.

Default size ?

Do they fit the British/Canadian sets , or the Australian set ?

The Aust. set has a larger meter and cover .

Default Covers.

Mike, Ron Pier, lent me his original, he has an Australian set, I've fitted one on my Canadian set and they fit fine. I recently saw a British built set at an Auction and the cover was the same as the ones I've made, I am presuming they are all the same size??.

Default meters

Kevin

That is strange. The British set I have here, is fitted with a smaller meter and cover .

Anyway, the covers you made look excellent

Just measured the British cover..it is 68mm outside diameter

OK then, the covers are about the same size

BTW the British cover I have is made in two parts, the outer ring or frame is black and the separate lens/cover is clear
