Jaeger 0-120MPH speedo and a Smiths 30-100 temp gauge

Another two parts from eBay. The first is a Jaeger 0-120 speedo. Actually it's an old conversion, it has a Smiths 0-120 mechanism and a reproduction face in a Jaeger speedo case.I'll put a new bezel on it with a fake tripmeter knob where the filled in hole is and it'll go in the car. Or, I might put another mechanism in it. I'm not sure, but I'll keep this face and not the one I bought earlier, this is an old reproductioon, so it's faded and aged a bit and looks very convincing.

Then I got this, a Smiths 30-100 temp gauge. That's my dashboard complete :o)

Vintage Auto Klean oil strainer and Autoklean glass bowl fuel filter

Another good eBay haul! Two Auto Klean parts I needed. The first is an oil strainer. I'm not entirely sure how this works, but I daresay I'll work it out. Apparently they come in three sizes. I wasn't aware of that when I bought it, but we'll see whether it's correct when it arrives.

The second part is an Auto Klean glass bowl fuel / gas filter.

If you have one of these and want to sell it, please get in touch using the contact page on www.vintagesunbeams.blogspot.com because I know someone who wants one! I think they were also used on tractors - condition is unimportant!

New Jaeger 0-120mph face

I've also bought this 0-120mph reproduction face for the Jaeger speedo. I'm not entirely sure it's the correct design, it may be slightly later, but it will do until I find a period one. It still has the protective cover on of course!

Oil Pressure gauge

And another instrument. This is the Oil Pressure Gauge. I only have a Smiths temp gauge to find now, or I could fit a reproduction one.

Le Nivex Gauge

After days of soaking in WD40 and working at it, I finally managed to get the corroded gauge open. It's in excellent condition inside, cleaned up nicely and now works perfectly.

Rotax K373 number two

This is a correct Rotax K373. I have a second, but that one isn't quite correct as the socket is at the back. This one has a beam adjuster at the back and the socket is below it.

The chassis is ready

Well, I now have a new chassis for the car (there are three in the picture). It's a perfect replica of a genuine twincam chassis. This means I now have a Sunbeam 20.9 chassis for sale.

I also have five more wheels. That means I have six usable wheels and a whole pile of hubs and rims. I'll sell some of the extra parts after the car is on the road.
