Speedometer falling apart?

I'd give a call.  Been 5 years though  Getting the bezel off without chrewing it up is tedious.  (It gets hidden if chewed up). Guess it needed locktite.  Pelican has instructions for getting inside VDO gauges.

Thanks, Greg. I have previously opened up and refaced a Bug Speedometer so I know what's involved. Tedious, right.

I emailed Ralph Klink at NHS & we'll see what he says. The original deal was a 1-year warranty. They did take it back after initial delivery and reset the ODO.

It would probably take them ten minutes to open it and fix it. I'd be willing to wager they'll take care of you, minus shipping.

I opened a 911 speedo for a friend and fixed the broken trip odometer many years ago. You couldn't tell, and yes, it was very tedious. I cut into the crimp ring/bezel a touch with a Dremel which made it easier to get off and back on.

I epoxied the nylon gears to the shaft that were slipping.

Update: sending it to Ralph.

Considering another recent post:  where the Speedster folks lament the necessity of taking a lot of these after-market parts meant to work with the cars and rebuilding them properly with better materials and parts.  The builders do this routinely, and so do the unwashed masses who post here.  We should be very grateful for No Hollywood and folks of their ilk, who know their stuff upside down and backwards.  i sent them my very crappy Chinese tach straight away after recp't of the car to receive a proper VDO transplant, which of course they did.  Side note: I complained about the crappy tach to JPS and he agreed to pay for the VDO transplant.

Update: They are shipping it back. No invoice.

Wow......    That was fast.

I think he used the Enterprise transporter.

They received it Friday afternoon. The lady working on it called me to ask what the mileage was; I told her it should be right there & leave it set to whatever it shows. Then I emailed the best latest pic I had of the thing to make sure. Looks like 8877?

UPS indicated tracking number Monday noon. I'm supposed to get it Friday.

I asked them to throw in one of those tiny knurled trip reset knobs if they have one, and charge me whatever the going price is, but I've heard nothing about it so expect they didn't have one handy. No matter, the cable works OK without that part.

Looking forward to seeing it again.

Update: it's back. Repaired and shipped no charge. I'll put it back in the dashboard tomorrow. No spare knurled trip ODO knob.

tested. works.
