However, I did find this which does help:-“Blah blah…At the bottom of the speedometer was a high beam warning lamp, originally red but changed to blue on some export cars from chassis 14171 on the 3000 MarkII”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Now, bearing in mind that the UK calibration people seem to want to take months to do a speedo, I bought a decent-looking but non-functional unit from Michael.

I’m pretty sure that, back in the dim distant past (could be 20+ years), I put a piece of red plastic into an otherwise empty hole. (100% intact except for the red bit). The guy at Speedograph-Richfield said that the red was just something cut from a piece of red acetate. Is that so?

I doubt that the UK / European cars were different – no indication of different speedo / tach part numbers in the original parts books, but perhaps another UK lister could chime in here and verify. I suspect that it’s a typo in the Anderson Moment book. The referral to ‘ratio’ is the number that insures that the speedo head is is properly matched to the different rear axle ratios that were used during the 6 cyl production - up to the BJ8, which went to black instrument faces, and an electronic tach, as Bob indicates.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'>Earl Kagna<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'>Victoria, BC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'>BT7, BJ8<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net">healeys-bounces@autox.teamnet</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Simon Lachlan via Healeys<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, September 10, 2022 1:41 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Healeys' <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Main beam warning light<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>We’re looking at a MkII BT7 here……….<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, my speedo has just come back from calibration and, comparing it to the one still in the car I see that the former has a RED “Main beam warning light” whereas the latter, still in the car, has a BLUE one. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The bible, Anderson & Moment, is confused and confusing on the topic.
