Speedometer head, K.P.H.
A kilometers-per-hour speedometer head listed under SSM 5001/01, from the mid-1960s instrument cluster records.
This is a speedometer head calibrated in kilometers per hour, listed in the parts books under SSM 5001/01. It sits in the instrument cluster alongside the tachometer and tail lamp per the catalog figure covering those pieces, and it does the same job any speedo does - reading road speed off a drive cable - except the face is marked out in K.P.H. rather than miles per hour, which points to a machine built for export or a market on the metric system.

The manufacturer code on file for this one lands it in the Amal listing, but Amal is a carburetor maker, not an instrument maker - speedometers like this were the work of an instrument house such as Smiths, so treat that manufacturer tag with a grain of salt. What we can say for certain is what the catalog gives us: a K.P.H. speedo head appearing in records from the mid 1960s.
If you're chasing one of these for a numbers-matching restoration or just need a running metric speedo, call the shop and we'll confirm what it fits before you order - the catalog entry here is brief and doesn't tie it to one specific model.
