Interestingly, it reads in km/hr vice miles/hr. Any idea why a British car would have a km/hr speedo, and how rare is it?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr">(2) For those who have converted to wire wheels do we assume that the Moss spare wheel adapter is the default conversion? Has anyone run into an alternative adapter for the spare wheel, or is there a more "creative" way to do it?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr">(3) When I completed the dis-assembly of the car sometime around mid 80's I noted that the big end of the steering gaiter did not have a clamp, but had a loop of wire tightened around the rubber with a neat little twist to finish it off. Amongst my old parts that I'm going through I actually found the original wire clamps that I had saved for "originality". The small end of the gaiter had the usual, but early design, screw-clamp. Any ideas how common or unusual the wire clamp is? I'm pretty sure it's original and very nicely done.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471447507213_48490" dir="ltr">(4) I've noted that the color scheme shows the "hinge" connecting the lower seat cushions to the seat back is painted black. Mine were never painted, and are just cadmium (?) plated.
