Well, the bad thing about giving away your parts cars is you always wind up needing a part.
I have multiple spare 914 gauges that I want to test. To test the speedometers I need the piece of cable that goes into the back of the gauge. I need a piece long enough to go into a drill. I have several new cables but don't want to destroy one just for the tip. If there is an easier way to test I would love to hear about other options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Also...does the speedo cable turn CW or CCW? I don't want to run the drill the wrong way and potentially break the speedometer. If anyone has one please let me know. Thank you |

Probably obvious to most, but I have a stupid question (and I have a broken speedo)... Is it CCW looking at it from the back of the gauge or from the front.

[/quote] I found some old posts that say to run the drill in the direction the needle would move. So, as Bruce and euro say, in this case run the drill in reverse (CCW) when facing the rear of the gauge. |
