Thanks dave, I've got that but I can't find if it's a 80mph or a 120mph?

Page 40 Accessories section. Quite a bit of info. 80mph head, illuminated, some had trip, some no trip.

And it fits on a T bracket that bolts into 2 threaded points on the top of the forks. !938 was the only year for those forks. 37 had no speedo fixing points. A speedo is required if registered after July 1937. 1939 there was a casting on the forks the speedo dropped into. Note the mileage trip came out the R/Hand side of the speedo, not out the bottom.
