Default WTB: KM/H speedometer!

I just managed to break my speedo while replacing the odometer gear (yes, I know, amazingly smooth move ). So I might as well kill two birds with one stone...

Anyone have a KM/H speedo for sale? It would be AWSOME if someone had a 300KM/H unit but 250 is of course fine.

At least that damn $30USD plastic gear is universal, it better be or ill go postal

Edit: To make sure im clear, I need the speedo unit with the odometer, the whole unit that comes out of the cluster. I broke the tiny thin little shaft that connects the movement mechanism to the needle, right in the plastic "bearing" so gluing seems to be out of the options list.

I managed to bend my timing gear with a gear puller when I forgot to take the tripple-square bolt out that retains the gear (DOH!)... I don't know if this proves anything, but I'm a Canadian citizen too. Maybe everything they say about Canada is true...

Of course, I've been in California since 89, so maybe it's the other way around...Anyways, good luck with the fix.

Well now you can upgrade to an adjustable unit

Id love to find another 300km/h unit, the one that was on ebay a while ago got bought IIRC, but if hopes and dreams were nickles and dimes... Well id prolly have a 959 as well as a 951

What is with the light on that speedometer?

Hmm, I thought a 951 would run out of gear before 340.

Would be fine...just need a redline on the rpm counter at 8250...peak at 9000. Then it would suit our car..
