invisible. 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? Seems hard to imagine
how…..</span></li>

Simon:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:14pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:14pt">My
BT7 tri-carb, which is very close to yours in serial number from
previous conversations, has a blue high beam warning light (red
ignition warning light). 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.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We’re looking at a MkII BT7 here……….</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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The bible, Anderson & Moment, is confused and
confusing on the topic. Page 104:- “……next was the speedometer,
with a number on its face indicating its ratio, and which included
a mileage meter, resettable odometer, and the RED “ignition”
(discharging) warning light……….On the right was the tachometer with
a number on the face indicating the ratio, and incorporating the
RED high-beam warning light.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, unless that all refers to LHD cars,
that’s just a muddle. Doubtless subject to subsequent
corrections.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, it leaves me confused as to which
colour is correct.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So………………?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
