I had my speedometer repaired several years ago after it crashed. It's never been correct - exactly 10mph fast. Now it bugs me! My assumption is the repair place (no longer in business, big surprise) used the wrong gearing. Can someone tell me the correct gearing and where to buy parts for speedos? Many thanks

So - yes and no!
Yes: it would seem that the fix is "simply" realigning the needle on the shaft, but.. No: in that you'll have to pry off the bezel off to get access to the needle. Removing bezels is a bit of an acquired skill / art form, and its easy to munge one up unless you're well practiced. Given the case you've had your speedo rebuilt, they probably replaced the bezel with a new one - in which case I'd suggest getting either the original shop to fix the issue or contact someone like Palo Alto Speedometer to make things right. - Tony |
