Reproducing speedo gear and brass adapter

[RichCam]

Marc,
Thank you for the information and your kind offer. We were able to purchase a new speedometer and it came with the proper adapter plus the little pinion gear. I also have the same adapter and gear on the original speedo. (that was vandalized) Ross Williams gave me a call to explain that the pinion gear should freely spin and that its shaft connects to the end of the speedo cable. Outer coupling then threads onto the speedo cable cover. Both of my pinion gears are seized into the so I couldn't figure out how they worked. Now it is clear and I will free up the shafts and I should be all set.
One last question, how much of the opposite end of the speedo cable should protrude from the speedo cable cover coupling for it to fit properly into the brass receiver, just to the rear of the transmission? Regards, Richard.

Hi Richard, Hatkoski not Harrison ,

I was a little bit in a hurry when I posted my reply yesterday. I did not notice that the previous two posts were from different Richards.

To be honest I have no idea how much it should protrude because I have not yet got a cable. But if you measure how deep the hole in the shaft of the gear is than that should give you a maximum size. Careful though! The little lug or notch on the inner cable end should not be hanging on the end of the slit in the gear shaft. But I would think the hole will be less deep than the slit is long compared with the inner cable end and the location of the lug/notch. You can easily check this by sliding the gear without the brass adapter on your inner cable. The lug/notch should not be coming to the end of the slit.
Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

Hello to all,

Picked up the parts today. I think these look very nice!

I will get a price on shipping and let every buyer know how much they owe me.
