[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 136862, member: 58"] In my KTB which is a 4th edition it says on pg235 that the 3" Speedometer has two studs on the back which are 6mm. It also mentions 0BA but that info is wrong and they are 100% M6 as the instrument was a Metric instrument and all the threads in that instrument are metric, but this is not the speedo the question was about. Now the question was about the 5" Shadow Speedo which is different. The case for the 5" speedo was specific to Vincent and in KTB pg 238 (4th edition) it says the speedo is held onto its bracket with 3 off 1/4" BSW setscrews (bolts) 5/8" long. ([U]not UNC[/U] which is an American thread and not used in UK in the 1950's). I just dug out a spare 5" speedo and checked the setscrews and they are 1/4"BSW. Simon [/QUOTE]
