That makes me feel a HEAP better in all honesty...

The only downside is the penguin can"t hang on (we discovered) when youre doing this....

Default Instrument Cluster

Hi Tony - the image you posted of the cluster, is that one of mine? There is obviously a problem with the spedometer needle.

Tony, Your truck looks bloody smart, as does the penguin.
Well done!

Default Speedo

Thanks Lynn, appreciate it..

Bob the stickers are yours.

But the entire refurbishment was done by yours truly.

Default Speedometer

Hi Tony - when you refurbished your speedometer, did you check that the odometer drive cog was free, as these are frequently frozen causing the worm drive to bottom out.

Yes Bob, like any proper refurbishment I went through the entire unit...

Default Re. Drive Cog

Hi Tony - I should have expected you would have covered that. However it is a trap for a lot of new players. Most of the Ford speedometers I refurbish have this fault and one must be very careful as the two cogs are riveted through the housing. Too much force will loosen this rivet. Anyway enough egg sucking, hopefully these last posts will assist someone refurbishing their own speedometer.

Bob
