Sticking Speedo

The other day while driving my bug the speedo started sticking, all i do is tap the speedo and it works again. I also note that the speedo isn't smooth.

I am assuming the problem is a worn gear?

Can the speedo be totally overhauled easily or do I need to send it away if so who in Sydney repairs them?

Mate i repair and customise vw Beetle Speedometers. Im in Port Macquarie and you can send the speedo to me. you wont find a cheaper deal on speedo rebuilds, mine start from $80, Here is my post on some of my work: http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=85819&page=1#pid808877

i am happy with the face just need it overhauled

Other thing it could be is a worn cable - binding in the bends or at the wheel backing.

I Can just do the mechanicles on the speedo and get it workin and fixed for $50 just post it to me. P.M Me for my address.

Hey Dylan, can you cut glass or should I go to a glass joint and get a glass circle cut.

btw what paint do you use inside the gauges?

I Canot do glass as of yet , in the new year i hope to have repro glass and Speedo Needles made up.

From Dylan
