Am thinking about refacing both speedo and gauge cluster, plus a new needle. Any thoughts/ideas/experiences? Thanks, this forum is the best. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | If you got a nice drill you can hook the cable to it and see if it will work. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 | Actually you can spin it with your hand to see if the needle moves. Hook a drill to the cable and spin it slowly to see if the odometer works. I've done it recently. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 493 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 493 | I whittled down one of those short pencils on the end to fit the back of the speedometer. Then I chucked the other end in my drill. I thought if something went wrong the pencil would strip out before I did to much damage. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 199 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 199 | Can be done, make sure it is a variable speed drill! If you just want to see if it works, spin it by hand. | | |
