Very helpful thank you. My speedo and odometer have both stopped working on my Sunbeam S7 (with the speedo stuck at 40mph??). So I guess I’m going to have to strip it down to try and fix it...
@Mike- I have seen a Smiths speedo 120mph with no trip meter or no made in England written in back cover. Mechanism inside is magnetic and looks correct. Wonder if Smiths did make such examples with no trip with a case with just that wheel emblem with no made in england etched. Any info would be gratefully appreciated
Was this working, I have the same speedo that has stopped working I have taken it apart come to the conclusion that the magnet has lost its pulling strence
Thank you very much indeed for this video; extremely clear and practical advice. Much appreciated.
you make it look easy mike thanks .
Great job Mike ... thanks
For whom the bell tolls! Great video.

Hi Mike, have you done a video on how to dismantle SSM 2001/00? thanks
what is oil name ?
whose oil have use in speedometer pointer down
what causes the cup to spin? It is made of aluminum. is there any ferrous metal on the cup that causes it to spin?
It's due to something called eddy currents, which cause the ally drag cup to be pulled around by the magnet, I hope you enjoyed the video.
I have a 50 year old ford truck speedometer that needs magnetized, do you do this through your shop?
Hi. how do you now that the magnet is not working correctly?
Speedometer cable was replaced, no difference. Mechanic said the speedometer needed to be remagnetized.
Can these speedometers be recalibrated? Thanks
Yes they can
That is the secret, getting it apart is easy , putting it back together is a bit more tricky...

It was working and is still working! why do you think the magnet has lost its strength?
Hi it’s from my 1961 AJS the speedo stopped working I tryed it with a cordless drill the magnet rotated but it doesn’t pull the disc round
Hope my whizzers speedometer is like this
the stupid clock noise ruined this video
