Someone asked how to identify speedos for overdrive and non-overdrive
TR4s. As has already been explained, what matters is not OD vs non_OD, but
what diff ratio you have.  Here are the Triumph part numbers from the
factory parts catalog.  On most original speedos the Triumph part number
and the British Jaeger part number are both on the speedo face near the
needle pivot point.

Keep in mind that any Smiths/British Jaeger speedometer can be
recalibrated to suit your diff ratio and tire size.  It may not be worth
the effort to find an original that may well have to be rebuilt anyway.
