I was making progress until I found that I seem to be missing a circuit board. I'm using an early set of instruments as a reference which is different. Mine appears to never have had the larger board which is attached to the speedo face. I don't know whether I can remove the circuits from the early board to make it work. The early one has a red light next to the 4L fuel light with a small silver label with Japanese characters on it, a red and yellow wire goes from the light to the larger circuit board. Three wires black blue and red go from this board to the board that is missing.Regards Martin.

I think the red warning light might be a speed warning light unique to Japan. I wish I could read Japanese...Regards Martin.

Tategaki, Vol-chan, are you reading right to left? ;)
Thanks Skunky that's close to what I got. The first two characters translated as speed the second two characters translated as alert. I haven't bothered with number five.Regards Martin.
I think the red warning light might be a speed warning light unique to Japan. I wish I could read Japanese. As such I could probably remove the circuit board that I want from the early speedo. However I am reluctant to do so because I have never seen this light fitted before and I would rather keep it as an early working speedo. I also have a couple of mates with early Bricks who might require it one day. If anyone has a wrecked speedo and is willing to part with the required circuit please contact me. At this stage the speedo is back together awaiting the circuit. I wound it forward to match mine then realised I should have left it on it's original mileage. I'll rectify that later.Regards Martin.

Tommy to remove it just give it a firm pull. To install it fit it in the hole and push. The knob should look like the picture. I some rare cases you might end up with just the black plastic piece. In that case I think you may be able to remove the back and reassemble the knob.Regards Martin. Odometer Knob.png (43.72 kB . 768x576 - viewed 299 times)
