Supposed to be the tip, but given the accuracy of the speedometer I'd settle for anywhere in the angle matching radar reader boards you may encounter. If it's the speedometer I remember in my 122, it's not a ribbon, rather a long rotating cylinder with a white spiral painted on the surface such that when viewed through the slit in the instrument panel looks like a moving ribbon. "Cruise control" in the very early 140s was having a black plastic slider pointer tab at the base of the instrument panel below that "ribbon" that you manually positioned to point to the current speed limit as a peripheral vision reminder you were going too fast (or too slow).
