Does anyone know of an aftermarket 3 3/8 speedo with an integral (built-in) high beam indicator?
regards,
Leon

Leon, as a suggestion, you could use an LED light. I can imagine it would be difficult to find one. Just an idea!

I have'nt heard of one, but I had Classic Instuments add one (and turn signal indicators, LED as previously mentioned by Ted65Mali) to a set of their gauges. I haven't looked to see if they make a speedo in the smaller size.

Thanks,
I thought I remembered that Classic would do that.
But when I looked at their web site, I found no mention of it.
I'll look again.
The bigger story is --
My 1955 1st series dash has 2 1" indicator lamp holes.
Normally the left one is hi-beam and the right one is turn signal.
I want to have hi-beam in the speedo and use separate left and right arrowhead lights in the indicator holes.
regards,
Leon

I didn't see it listed on their site, I had to ask over the phone. Toll free number as I recall. Make sure they put it through a plug on the back, I have one gauge with High Beam, Left and Right turn (1 ea). The High beam on mine is wired through a qick disconnect socket (it's for the dash light inside the gauge too, they sent the plug end with the gauge) but the turn signals are wired straight out ofthe back of the gauge and the wires they used are about as big as 3 strands of human hair (if it's 'fine' hair). I'm afraid to break those any time I get anywhere near them. Probably not an issue as you only want the high beam, but I figured you would want to know, so at least you could mention it to them.

Classic will also take your gauge unit and completely redo it with modern guages and senders to your spec. they are beautiful when finished. They use all american made parts, the turn around is a couple of months and it is a little pricey, but the finished product is fantastic. Stock look or whatever you spec.
Been there, Done that, Hope to live long enough to do it again.

Joe,
Do you know which SW speedo you have that has the hi-beam light?
Like Classic, I could find no mention of it on their web site.

Leon

I don't know how old my catalog is that it is in -- 8-9 years probably. It is a mechanical 80 MPH 3 3/8" speedo. It is family HD part# is 550HF-D . The odometer has no tenths-only full miles -- like a big truck. Maybe this is still a good number. Hope this helps. Joe
