ebay or the junkyard, MSA, Black dragon might have some NOS but I kinda doubt it, looking to convert form digital to analog?

well i got the part i needed which was the speedometer all one piece(just the speed senor is gone) but you have to replace all of the speedometer, but i broke the needle because it was very brittle all i need now is just a needle any ideas? black dragon catalogue doesnt even have a cluster :S

any ideas how to roll the odometer ahead to match the existing one, tried a drill but only 7 km in 3 min =fail

why did you have the cluster out of the dash?

not sure about moving the milage, I think the drill would be the best options, 7 km in 3 minutes sounds pretty decent, how many miles are on the car? a corded drill will generally spin faster than a cordless and many have a trigger lock

to get at the back of the speedometer i had to pull the whole cluster out as the full piece, im gonna have to do it to swap the speedometer too oh well, i did use a corded drill haha thats the sad part i have to go 100 000 km

I've got a digital dash from a 83 S130 that's been sitting around, it worked when I pulled it what, 10 years ago. Dunno what it's be worth.

why did you have to get to the back of the speedometer? just trying to fidn the source problem that caused you to have to pull the cluster, the analog's aren't prone to failure

the piece that the speedometer cable hooks on to popped out of place, and is actually broken

[evildky]

wow, so the back of the housing broke? something happen to it? never heard of that happening

[hitbychance]

basically the gray piece speed senor i think, the cable hooks on to has a ring to hold it from falling out of the speedometer housing, this ring must have snapped somehow
