Speedometer Needle.....broke
Well, I wish I could say it happened when I was going 200 miles an hour down the highway, but I can't. I looked down after backing out of the garage, and noticed something missing......the speedometer needle, or at least the business end. After closer examination, I can see the needle fell off and is laying down at the bottom of the lens. Does anyone know what needs to be done to replace? I have a friend sending me a new needle. Is it an easy fix? Thanks for any info.

Re: Speedometer Needle.....broke (Vette_47E)
The needles are pressed on the speedo shaft. The problem is you'll have to drop the dash out to get at the speedo, from behind. This can be tricky the first time but not impossible. You should get a manual to review the process then ask questions here.
