Well, with the help of all on this list, and a big thank you to all of you,
I put the speedometer back in the dash today. Either you folks are much
more dexterous than I am, or you simply have more practice, but I was sure
fumbling a lot, and losing the little knurled nuts, etc. Found them all
and reassembled it properly though.
Took a test drive, and notice that there is a mostly low rpm
ticking/clicking noise from the dash. When I lost the speedometer, it was
on a long trip home from Seattle, and I heard some kind of strange noise
coming from the dash. It's been over a year now, so I can't tell if the
noises are the same or not. Could the angle drive in the dash be bad? The
speedometer is a bit jerky until you get to 15 mph or so, then it evens
out. It seems to be reading a little high and the needle swings back and
forth a bit. The cable was replaced last August, before I went to Seattle.
Sometimes it seems like this ticking gets faster right as I come to a stop
at a light. Looking for things to check. Thanks in advance, again!
Nina
