|Subj: Speedo. adjustment on TR6
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabor asks about adjust the speedometer (or speedomometer from the
guy I bought my car from):
It's easy to adjust it, but hard to get it back to the right place
afterwards. When I got my TR6, it appeared that the odometer wasn't
working correctly, so like any good brit. car owner I took it apart to
see if I could really screw it up. The front face twists off with a
little WD-40 applied around the frozen together metal face and
housing. From there the needle can be taken off and repositioned
wherever you want it. The problem is that there is a wound up
coil attached to the pin which the needle goes on, and I think it is
supposed to have some tension on it while the needle rests at 0. Mine
is now off by about 5 mph at 55. I just can't seem to get it exactly
right.
