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.

Looks like another Alli-babba special nothing these Chi-coms won't counterfeit

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

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.

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.During rebuild did you notice how the knob for trip odometer is attached to the rod that turns that meter? I ask because I have an pod that is missing that knob and I am wondering how I will fix that problem.
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.Thank you for the tip and picture. Now I have to find an used knob to replace my missing one.
