other Wood Grain Turbo Gauge Cluster?

[bluebmw]

I was under the impression that all 2002 Turbos had a red gauge cluster face, but this person is advertising his wood grain cluster with a 140mph speedo as a Turbo unit. Anyone know what's up?

Maybe it's a turbo speedometer with a non-turbo bezel. But I do believe all turbos had the red bezels.

It's not a Turbo gauge pack... that's exactly the same as my RHD (British) 2002 has...

Actually, on second look it's slightly different... whilst my non-turbo unit is 0-140mph the scale runs from 8 O'Clock to 4 O'Clock, rather than 7-5 like the one above...

140mph speedo standard on all RHD tiis, and, apparently a mixture of other RHD '02s.

My RHD Touring (late '73) came with one.

 

They come up from time to time on Ebay UK, so, not quite as rare as the Seller states.

Got Mine ! & yes the positions of 10 & 140 are different

Got Mine ! & yes the positions of 10 & 140 are different

So are the positions of the 10 and 140 significant? Stated differently, do all the 140 mph speedometers on RHD cars have this 8:00 and 4:00 style? Or are some of the 7:00 and 5:00 style?

10kph at the 7:00 position happens earlier than 10kph at the 8:00 position

The speedo and tach are wrong for that cluster I believe. I dont think I've seen a non-crosshair gauge in a wood bezeled cluster. They were all black bezels if they were non crosshair

Agree with all the above, speedo isn't a crosshair speedo so it's from a UK spec 02tii from 71-73, definitely not a turbo speedo. Turbo's only came with a 240KMH speedo in crosshairs and not in a wooden cluster.

I messaged him.  Added a link to this thread and asked him to post pics of the ratio on the speedo.  I suspect it will be for 3.45:1 diffs.

10kph at the 7:00 position happens earlier than 10kph at the 8:00 position

Thus, are you saying that both styles of 140 mph speedometers appear in some RHD cars, with an earlier 7:00-and-5:00 version being replaced by a later 8:00-and-4:00 version? I haven't a clue so I'm just trying to pin down the facts for purposes of this thread.

And although this is not a factory turbo speedometer -- i.e., no crosshairs -- did U.K.-delivery turbos come with a 240 kph speedometer or a 140 mph speedometer?

Sorry, Daron. I thought you were making an historical comment, not a funny!
