Hi again,

The thread concerned whether or not the II/IIA coble would fit -- it does 
-- so it wouldn't help you re a misreading speedo.

The speedo head -- the instrument with the dial -- doesn't know anything 
about the axle ratio or the rolling radius of your tyres, so it has to be 
designed for a specific combination.  If you change either -- on a Minerva 
from 4.70 axle ratio or 7.00-16 NDT military tyres -- your speedo will 
read incorrectly.  The most likely reason for reading high by more than 5% 
(the typical design tolerance) is smaller tyres, although that wouldn't 
explain so large a difference.  Is the needle steady at a given speed, or 
does it bounce up and down?  A bouncing needle suggests something is 
wrong, like a kinked cable.
