How urgent do you need it?
The LJ50 speedo cluster from my old "frankenzook" is under a collapsed shed, on a farm a few clicks north of Bindoon.
The speedo was complete and undamaged last time I checked, but it might be a while before I can get back there.

Looks like I should be heading back to the farm next saturday arvo, Will do a search and rescue from under the shed while I am there, and possibly rescuing some oddball crossbreed rims at the same time.
If you have a ithingo phone I can send pics.

they are so hard to get good ones. I'm straightening the rust free one here that has been in a big roll, and currently looks like a crumpled piece of tin-foil.
good luck though.

I already have one in fairly average condition but I am convinced it is more rust than metal.
