Default Odometer rebuild paper - where?

Hello guys,

I've done a search on this fantastic forum and found out that there was a paper written on the odometer repair for a C3 by user 'daily driver'. However, the link to the paper is not working anymore (thread is dated back to 2001).

The odometer of my dad's 76 is not working, we have the thing dismantled, the worm gear is broken. A good paper might help, or even better, anybody out there knows if it is possible to buy the plastic worm gears anywhere? Anybody still has that paper? Wouldn't like to spend 200$ on a new part if we could just replace the little gears ...

Any help or tips greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Maarten

Would be nice. My odometer just stopped at 32000 miles even and now my speedo is jumping. It is a rebuild that I bought at one of the corvette shows several years ago.
