SXX2 Capacitor

Need a capacitor for my SXX2 speedo but rather than buy the LRP one can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to buy an if possible where from?
Regards,

You can get these from any good electrical store, like mapins. Last time I bought a couple for around £3 as I recall. Take the old one in with you as its marked with the uhf number/ size.

Thanks but it didn't come with a capacitor fitted.

Demon power products and also get some bit longer wire as the standard is a bit short which causes the capcitor legs to eventually snap off
Its a gold one on demon about £4 if i remember

Does anybody know what the uhf number is?

For speedo's I've used 2200uF caps and 6800uF caps and also 10000uF caps make sure they are at least 10V rated. 16V is also good. No need to go higher becuase a higher rated voltage ususlly means larger physical size.

So basically look for caps between 2200uF and 10000uF and 10 - 16V rating. Do not go lower than this, but higher is OK just might be too big physicaly
