Default Speedo repair for '76

Was wondering if there's a speedometer repair kit for the '76 (I think '75 is the same) Actually just the Trip Meter no longer functions. All else seems ok.

Didn't see one in MAD or Ecklers (other years, but not '76)

Thanks :cheers:

The repair kits (which was a new head assembly) are discontinued. You can get the worm gears but thats about it for parts.

RATS!, but that was the answer I was expecting.

Maybe some WD-40 and some patience will turn out for the better???

Thanks for the reponses,

Dr. :cheers:

This guy is in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. -- Might be worth a call. Note that I haven't used him, but he's local for me so I might call on him when I get into my interior restoration.

Thanks Red70,

I may have used this guy in the past and didn't know it! I've had a gauge or two serviced thru Art's Corvette Parts (Ft Laud) over the years and I know they were sent out to Palm Beach...probably him!

Love those white-faced gauges he does! :yesnod:
