Gauge question
I've been approached by a gauge restoration company in the USA with a couple of questions about the gauge below. Two questions - any ideas what it came from ? To me it looks like a late 1960's gauge but could have come from several models. And secondly does anyone have a similar looking donor gauge they'd like to sell so they can make one good one from the two ? If so, PM me and I'll pass along their contact info.

Re: Gauge question
Sure as heck looks like my 68 Cobra speedo, the chrome ring is the same too.

Re: Gauge question
Looks like the speedo on my 1969 T350. Was also used on early T250 & T500.

Re: Gauge question
Thank you all for your replies - confirms what I thought as far as models. Does anyone have one they want to sell that has a decent face - I suppose it doesn't have to be functional as it will be a donor for parts. If so, just contact Buz (email is buz@seattlespeedometer.com) directly. And by the way - their shop might be an alternate option for gauge repairs for folks in the USA - please note I haven't tried them personally and so do not have first hand knowledge. But they do have the tooling for rolling the crimped ring on and off the K through B gauge sets as the Lavarda clocks are the same design
