The needle in my '49 was white.... and well curled..lol The speedo was all gummed up sp I popped it out to clean it and get it working again, and wa-la.. the needle self-destructed..
so rather than leave it out until I found a replacement.... I fixed the prob the way I learned all those years ago.... A dab of Elmers glue..and a wooden match-stick and put it all back together and bingo..an operating speedo...
(Although I probably need to be careful of that RED tip if I park in the sun....lol)
