Does anyone know the correct gearbox speedo drive gears for a Mini with 10"
wheels and a 2.95 Final Drive? It was standard fitment on a lot of early 80s
Minis. The City E in particular.

The reason I ask is that i've just fitted a Metro gearbox with a 2.95 final
drive and despite having the correct speedo for a Mini with 10" wheels and a
2.95 it under reads by quite a bit.

Thanks

inside the speedo is a sticker with something like 1234
this is the number of wheel turns per mile

I've found that bit. 1280 or 1248. I've got two different speedo units to
try. The problem i'm having is working out the correct drive gears to go
inside the gearbox.
Using information from the IME www.ime.org.uk i've worked out which gears
should drive the speedo at the correct speed.
