speedo repair...

Post by velvet »

driving my new prize up from LA, the speedo, which had been twitching, let go w/ an incredible racket. Quit alarming, it being new to me. Anyway, i emailed some advertised speedo repair places, never got a response. Is there a repair kit for these things? (the odo is still turining)

There is no kit, or even any parts available.

I had one done by https://www.bobsspeedometer.com/1/120/index.asp , paid big money and it only lasted about 2 years then failed. So i bought a used gauge cluster from Ebay that had a good speedometer in it.
as I say "everthing could be anything but nothin is always somethin"
