why a 1963???
as speedos from 1962 to 1967 will all fit and should look the same... and even earlier speedos will also fit...

do u want it for the date stamp ???

Sorry guys yeah anything in the right period is fine, just said 1963 as thats the year car I have.

My current one is MPH, did they do KMH ones? My main issue is the bit of plastic covering the turn signal arrows is bust so would want one that is in better condition than that.

Could anyone who has anything suitable PM me with photos and price? Thanks

They did come in KPH, harder to find in Australia and more expensive, but I have a few spare if you're interested, send me a pm.
For less than $1 you can repair your speedo signal lights.
Just remove the warning light socket holder at the rear of the speedo ( held by a few screws), this gives access to the green coloured plastic which covers the indicator lights, probably cracked faded yellow now. It is just a small piece of plastic which is glued to the back of the face. That transparent green plastic used in fruit trays or anything similar is fine, easy to get at craft shops or a kindergarten ;)
Where are you located ??
Cheers, Pat.
