Speedometer

Man! Every time I feel like I’m gaining some ground and getting everything back together something else happens!

I wastrying to get speedometer cable to seat properly, it looked like a piece of the old cable was still inside the back of speedometer. Trying to get that fixed and I think I broke my speedometer needle. Is there any hope in fixing this??

Did the shaft snap off inside where the needle presses on? Hard to see what the problem is from that picture.

Sorry about that, I thought it might be hard to see. Yes, it appears that the shaft snapped off in the needle.
