Default Speedometer Needle

Hey guys! You might remember me with my '70 Cortez Silver Vert with the black stripe down the hood. My name used to be Eric70.
Anyway, my Uncle bought a '79 Vette, and the speedometer is broke. The needle is actually broke.
Does anyone know where he can either send the Speedometer to be rebuilt? Or, get a needle? We have seen the rebuild kits offered in the catalogues, but he would still need to replace the needle.
If anyone can help, we sure would be appreciative.

Thanks!

John @ Redline Gage and Clock Repair would be the best bet. I think his needles are 10 bucks and a new rebuilt w/exchange are around 60 bucks.

I just replaced the needle on my 78.

Just took off the lense (4 screws) pulled firmly on the old hub and pushed the new needle back on. No more than 10 min total.

Got the needle from Eckler..they have a banner here on forum
