[Healeys] Speedometer gear

[David Nock]

Why not just send them the speedo to rebuild. They will install another gear if required and charge acordingly.  They are not going to sell a gear alone because they need them to repair what comes in for rebuild.

Bakelite, perhaps?


I've had speedos with both types of gears; I think the Bakelite ones are actually a bit sturdier.  The plastic ones tend to crack radially, which causes the indicator needle to bounce regularly, proportional to speed.

They say on their web shop that the gears have a 5 mm hole, so presumably it's up to the customer to fit it on the shaft
.And I didn't even know that the gears are available. As a side note, what they sell are the modern gears made of plastic, the old gears were made of some fiber material, can't remember the name at the moment, that gets a bit brittle over the years.

I'm working from (always suspect) memory, but aren't these gears--odometer and tripmeter--pressed onto small steel shafts, for driving the ratcheting mechanisms?  Do the gears come with the shafts?

  My BJ8 speedometer has a broken phenolic gear that runs the trip odometer and I need to find a new one. I called Nisonger Instruments this am about a replacement. They have them but don’t sell 

  them. Obviously there is little money in supplying this gear but there must be somewhere that it can be purchased.  If anyone knows please let me know.
