Hi Mark, Ive got a C210 skyline box in with a standard diff and 196/50R15 tyres, and I required a pink/red speedo drive for my speedo to be accurate (cant remember how many teeth). An alloy body speedo drive was required. Apparently this is relatively the same box as the 240K, so maybe you have a steel body speedo drive at the moment?
A grey/black cog was originally in my box, and there was no way my new drive wanted to go in which made me think I also had something wrong. On comparision with the original, it appeared that the pink cog being bigger wouldnt fit in the meshing space that the grey cog did. But when put in rotated 180 degrees (so the slot is at the bottom rather than the top) it did mesh nicely. So I just used a hacksaw to make a new slot for the fixing tab. Perhaps you are finding this issue also? As for which colour cog you require sorry I dont know.
