Clive Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sort of.The 4.11, 3.89 and 3.63 are all teh same "size", the sprint, 3.45, is different but in common with TR's, big saloons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolmaker Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 thanks, reason i asked is if i fitted a 3.63 to my gt6, wondered if a dolomite or spit speedo would be ok , i would just change the faceof the speedo to the gt6 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ah, I see your point.Most of the dollies (all?) And the 1500 spit all seem to use a 10000 or whatever it is speedo. The changes to the drive are in the gearbox. Never played, but I believe a variety are available.I have never had an accurate speedo. I suspect the easiest way to go is to get yours recalibrated. But that is too easy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I thought it would be interesting to collate a list - this is what I have gleaned so far:4.11 - Toledo 13003.89 - Dolly 1500?3.63 - Dolly 1850/TR7 4 speed3.45 - Dolly Sprint3.27 - Dolly 1850 Auto.There must be a few cars missing from that list EG: What has a Toledo 1500 got? - if you can find one..........Do OD and non OD cars have different ratio diffs?

thescrapman Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I am sure a Dolly 1500 is a 3.63. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Most Dolly 1500 is 3.89 but very late cars were 3.63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolmaker Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 thanks all who replied, so heres a question thrown in for you, if the speedo gearing is in the gearbox, would it then be possible to fit say a spitfire or dolomite speedo to a gt6 with the gt6 face on it, and retain the later trip meter push button as oposed to the cable?get your thinking caps on chaps.cheers, ian.

Richard B Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 or just decide on which speedo you want and send it to;http://www.speedycables.com/and get them to calibrate it for you. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolmaker Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 cheers richard, but thats the whole point i want to do it myself . i have already had great success with changing the rev counter over from cable to electronic at very low cost compared to what these guys charge.
