Odometer Gears
Guys,
Im fixing my odometer and got it apart and was looking around to order 2 new gears that need to be replaced. I cant find any sites selling both gears and the ones I find that sell one they dont include a pic of it so I'm not sure which I am ordering. Any of ya'll ever done this before and if so where did yall get your replacement gears.
Thanks, Paul

Make sure that you get steel gears, the plastic ones will not last. That is if you leave the trip odometer working. If you want to take the trip out, the plastic ones are OK. Problem is that the steel ones have not been available for many years and you have to scrounge them up where you can. I dont think anyone has started making them now, but it is possible. I havent needed any in several years.

I changed mine out over Christmas. Got mine from Dr. Rebuild. Both plastic. If I remember correctly it is the second and third gears.
I believe Corvette Central sells the gears and maybe in metal. Since these gears mesh with other gears that are plastic I chose to reuse plastic gears.
