Yeah true mate. I think they're unobtainable now to purchase.
Damn :(

Is there any signs of it being a trip speedo?

Cheers.
No signs of being a trip speedo. Here is a pic of the one I got for my bus

Great find mate. I've seen your bus, it looks great.
From memory, it is an extremely close chassis number to my dads '63 bus.

Great work, keep at it.

You have a loooooooong road ahead but the day you drive it under its own steam will make the wait worth it!
