TR2/3/3A tr3 speedometer glass

My recently aquired 59 tr3a has flat glass on the speedo,curved on alll the other gauges ,except electric temp gauge,which I think is most likely from TR4?
My question-
Is this flat glass speedo from another year or possibly replacement lense?
Thanks
Tom
 
Is the "MPH" inside or outside the white rings? It should match the tach (outside). The TR4 (with flat glass) is inside.

I think the glass is the same size, so maybe it was replaced with flat. The stock temp gauge is a capilary tube type, but 1st year TR4s also had curved glass temp gauges that were electric and the same 'font' as the TR3s.

-Welcome to the best forum on earth, or best forum from britan, or at least the best that are hung up on lbc's.
 
Can you give us the number on the speedometer below the needle but above the odometer?

Scott and TK,
The speeedo has MPH outside the two white lines,same as tach,but flat glass.
Speedo sn6307/04
tach RN1411/00
Temp gauge is electric Smiths 90/230 same font as oil and fuel and amp
Thanks for the Welcomes,
Tom
 
Tom,

SN6307/04 should be a TR3 speedometer for a car with a 3.7:1 differential so it sounds like someone has replaced the glass/bezel. If it works, you just need to find a parts speedometer to get the correct glass and bezel.

Here's someone in the UK selling what you would need:

TR3 speedometer/tachometer glass and bezel (eBay)

My guess is because this is an international seller.

Scott
 
How did you find it?
I have found and bought parts from international(Sweden and germany )sellers before,and since Im looking for british car parts do I need to search Ebay europe or?

I was using Google to search for speedometer glass and ran across a link to that auction.
