Hi, I also have a stuck speedo needle. 1951 Chev PU. Can anyone tell me if the needle shaft is supposed to be soldered to the plate that has the 5 odd spaced holes? There is a suspicious looking solder puddle on the
shaft where it enters the plate. Looks like it was soldered to the plate and broke loose. Maybe someone before me tried a fix? When spinning the cable entry piece, there was a lot of resistance. I pried the brass
cap off the 'oiler' hole, pulled out the matting plug and blew it all out with 80 lbs pressure from my steam cleaner. That really loosened it up!
Thank you for any help!!!
