Does anyone know the specs for the spring in the speedo. Mine is bust and without knowing the dimensions and strength i can't source a new one..

Thanks.

I believe it part of the speed cup

You may be better off purchasing a new/use speedometer

Gus is correct. It is time to purchase a new speedometer. You could send it out for repair,
but the cost of repair would probably be
prohibitive.

So, I was quoted £200 to fit a spring that costs less than £1 and then calibrate it!!! So, i've bought some snazzy new gauges instead!!!
