I've used these on a couple of our old Volvos:

During my post-MX check drive today, I noticed I'm within about 150 miles of needing one for the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

May have to see if I can get something like this made. Anybody else getting close?

I'm not sure which is more impressive, the 914 making 238K miles or the odometer actually working to record the event! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thinking about it, would have to be the odometer... I have every confidence in a 914 lasting forever, just not the odometer. That might be a fun thread; "Who still has a working odometer?"

Wait! These Odometers were supposed TO WORK?

That is a new one on me..... In fact, I don't think Ive ever had a 914 that had a working speedometer.... who needs that?

I drove my first 914 for years with a missing angle drive on the trans.
Finally replaced the angle drive and broke the speedo cable in the first 10 miles.
Never replaced the cable after that...
