Default Maybe a Mk.1

Mk. 1 speedos are the same as Mk.2 BUT DON'T HAVE THE WHITE WEDGES!! You may have found a Mk.1 (both go backwards or counterclockwise).

Hi Richard check out jordans link, here's a pic of british carrier gagues, also note the slight differences between the two in the picture , if the gauges still turn out to be british ones, buy them as they are super rare. Brian Asbury got me a couple of Mk1 gauges, Dont scratch the white paint off a Mk2 gauge as they are radioactive.

cheers, it was almost identical but it did not have the little tumblers for the odometer in the middle so i guess it was not correct. never mind, was worth a go though thanks for you all getting back to me i do appreciate it

Now you know how, you can post a decent image of those speedos (which is Aussie for Togs)(They also call 'em "sweemers") Now back to carrier instruments..... Here's one.
