Default Broke my speedometer needle shaft


anyone have a speedometer they no longer need? This piece broke while trying to take it apart to fix my odometer gear. Yep you fix one nd you break another in the process.

Do you need a 180 or 160mph speedo? Lart must have them by the buckets...no?

I think I have one off my old cluster that's not broken. I'll have to dig through some stuff tomorrow to find it but it's yours if you pay the shipping. You just need the needle right?

Can't you pull the needle off the shaft and put the shaft back into the hole it came from. Seems as if I have done that in the past. You might could use a little super glue on it.

thanks for your generous offer. They say I need a whole speedometer since the needle shake is broken,

unfortunately I can’t. The shaft is broken. Beware when you’re trying to fix your odometer gear. It says to gently remove the needle. You may not have to remove this to access the gear. You can loosen the faceplate screws enough to separate the gears.

Hey Tom,
ill need the 180. I’ll stop by Palo Alto Soeedometer and get an estimate. Then I’ll contact Lart and compare cost if he has one.
