    Anyone got experience with fixing/calibrating these things? I've got two dead speedos and two working tachs but both sets have broken needles (gee, wonder why that is) and I'm attempting to cobble together something that works out of the two assemblies. First order of business is how to get the gear shaft assemblies out of the chassis, they are spiked in place. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have had one of these apart. Be very careful and bend the metal tab just as far as you need to to get the plastic retainer out. once out, you should be able to remove the shaft. DONT BREAK THE RETAINER. Very hard to find these. Have fun and be patient.
    Is this for the seca. Want a dash cluster. Yours for the shipping cost. Everything works on it. A little faded but functional.
