HQ Sandman Speedo's

[Absinth]

So none are the QW QM QK QX RD that HQ1837 posted so I assume they are the GTS speedo codes.

If they are in order then:
QW is Fuel/Oil gauge
QM is the Tacho
QK possibly optional clock
QX is the speedo
RD is Temp/Battery

8/74 HQ, its KM/H and MPH. ?

If it's a 200kph/120mph it would be a Spare parts replacement speedo. I see in one of your pics on the SS site you have a Oct 79 Temp/Battery gauge.

I have in my collection
QD QW RC on the Fuel/Oil gauges
QK is the centre blank
QM on the tacho
RD and QE type Temp/Battery gauges.
I will have a newer look and see how these relate to dates on them as well.
The oct 79 one was a genuine replacement unit.


OK I have
2815736
9/71 10/71 Large font picking code missing
QD 7/72 Large font
RC 3/73 Small font All of the above of these are stamped dates etc and have Holden and VDO on them
QW Small font Part no 2815736 on a sticker no Holden


2815737
QE 11/72 Larger font RD is 3/73 small font Both of these are stamped dates etc and have Holden and VDO on them
then I have a small font with a sticker 9931615 second sticker VDO 027813 or it could be 73
then I have a small font with a sticker 9931615 second sticker 10/79


The stickered ones I suspect are all replacement units

The HQ ute I have bought is an 8/74 build with 200/125 speedo, hope that helps

Not really.... speedo's got swapped out, re-built etc. Knowing the date stamped on the back is more usefull but only VDO speedo's have that.

Thanks anyway....
