I'm rebuilding my speedo on a 53 5 window my problem is the needle will not stay in place. Does anybody know how the needle is held inplace? Does it snap in or something.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Originally just a light press fit.
Will some super glue work for you?

Thanks Grigg,

don't know if supereglue will work or not but I'm not tlaking about attaching the new needle to the old cover. My problem is getting the base to stay in the actual housing itself, the small needle doesn't seemed to latch to anything.

The "hub" that the needle is permanently attached to should be the light press fit on the itty bitty shaft.
