FYI - From my experience, if you want the reverse rotation (180 mph) Smith speedo in you ERA you will need to specify it. Peter considers them trouble prone so he normally provides the standard rotation (160 mph) Smith speedo. Apparently some care and shimming is necessary when installing the reverse run adaptor to the speedometer to avoid binding or something. I haven't set mine up yet but they sent some washers with it to do so.

EDIT - I should have noted this was on my "Street" replica. ERA may provide the reverse speedo on the SC cars without a specific request.
