<div>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.</div>

<div>Bakelite, perhaps?<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.<br></div>
