ok...i find a o-ring that fits...put the speedo drive back in and...huh? what's that wire thing coming out of the bolt to tighten the sender down???

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) The helicoil broke.....and the bolt is a gonner.

*SIGH* go in and buy the helicoil repair kit...i have like no money left. and go out and begin tapping the hole and putting in the helicoil insert in like 25 degree weather...it lasted two hours.

but its back, and the helicoil was fun....once it worked.

pictures will come tomorrow.
