Re: Help for Identify
Hello Sandun,
To my eye that looks correct for a 1955 car, except that silvery plate in the centre - and the needle - look like later additions - someone has tinkered with it at some point is my guess. Normally, they look like the last picture in this link: http://www.newoldcar.co.uk/index.php/70 ... en-ref-761

Re: Help for Identify
Thank you, i think the meter re assemble wrong , and he says not attached(wired) the fuel sender unit Because of that the fuel meter show ' F ' - is it possible ? I think it always "E" wired or not

Re: Help for Identify
Sandun I agree with you. If the fuel guage (meter) is showing 'full' when disconnected from the sender, then I think the guage is faulty.
As for the correct sender unit, for these early speedos/guages this is the one: http://www.morrisminorspares.com/fuel-s ... es-p830603

Someone has been messing with your speedometer,the chrome plate in the centre should be BEHIND the plate with MPH on it forming a chrome RING, also the needle is incorrect for a Minor should be as per the photos....

Re: Help for Identify
P.S
The fuel gauge could be OK , if the wiring is disconnected/earthed , the gauge can read Full..

Re: Help for Identify
Yes, you are right about the chrome, John, but surely it should read 'empty' with the ignition off (as in Sandun's picture there are no ignition/oil lights on)?

Re: Help for Identify
Not 100% about this but when testing mine I was a little perturbed about this , it seems unlikely but am sure it happened...there are different senders and gauges which don't work together..
