I have two km/h speedos with non-operating odos due to the little drive cogs being split on the odo axle/shaft. Super Glue doesn't work... does anyopne know of a source for new drive gears?
I need some 2 they used to be around
Seem to remember some one doing a brass one because the plastics one split
There was a source either through the brickyard (T3 speedos suffer the same problem) or it was that guy on SBO that does the coloured speedo faces
If you find a source let me know I need one too.
Dont the early type speedos have a brass set of gears? I will split one tonight and have a look
these can still be purchased new from speedo places... i bought one a few years ago for my 74 beetle speedo. approx $5
its a common fault due to the age of the gear and the stress on it when it has to rotate all the odometer numbers together... ie when it changes from
99999 to 00000
use the oportunity to lubricate all the gears once you reassemble them.

powertune in sydney can fix this problem...
i used to just buy shitty smashed up old 80mph splitty speedos for chump change at swap meets
they have the brass cogs in them
There is a place at Salisbury in Brisbane, Lionel Otto instruments, on Evans Rd. He has done some for my old man on his minis.

There is also another mob I used at Coopers Plains years ago for speedo parts but don't have an address
