  • broken trip knob repair

    id been running around with a broken trip meter knob
    for sometime now when i thought of trying this.
    i attached a small piece of vac line to the trip meter knob
    and then was able to slide that onto the speedo.
    works well
    sorry the pics arent the best.






    hope it helps someone. :-)

    Thanks, I've been wondering what I was going to do about that problem. What size vac line?

      sorry wingnut, im not to sure, maybe quarter inch?
      it was just lying around, it was a very tight
      fit (hot water and silicon spray) for the knob
      and it slid over nicely onto the speedo, but i also
      removed the broken piece that was attached to the speedo.
