I picked up a decent mph speedo recently to replace my dodgy one, which I'm convinced us a kph speedo with a mph faceplate. As i finished setting the mileometer to my mileage (all of a massive 000060.8 miles) I broke the speedo needle. I've tried to remove the broken bit getting three finger tips under the base but can't shift it. I was going to swap my current needle over but is it better to fix the needle? Anybody have any tips how to do it please - tried super glue.
Possibly epoxy and maybe ally foil behind the hand? Have a look on fleaBay for the kind of hand-pullers used by watch/clock makers. Such things do exist. Better than knackering it?
Before you pull it off..........make sure you mark the 0 mph position on the 'drum' underneath. Otherwise you will have one that over reads, like mine! Tony
Yup, there are two factory marks on the speedo and when you move the needle over the "0" pin it points to one of them - just have to remember which one.
Found it... i actually used two teaspoons.. put a tissue over the top too save you going to find where it flew off to when it pops off... Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
Too impatient to wait for my fleabay purchase of the watch hand puller. First I tried to fork it off but it was having none of it. I even backed the fork with masking tape to protect the face. Two spoons for the winner! A piece of card over the face with a small hole for the needle stub.
