NP 205 speedo gear. Where do you find them?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**dutchmanz** · 05-15-2014, 10:00 PM

My 72 Blazer made the driven gear for my speedometer in the 205 look like an apple core. I have the solid metal style. Does anyone know where they can be found? At this point, I don't even care if the teeth are wrong. If they are, I'll use a ratio adapter.

Thanks...but both of those are drive gears. I need the driven gear that the cable slides into.

**dutchmanz** · 05-16-2014, 06:24 PM

This is what I'm looking for.

andrewmp6 · 05-17-2014, 03:35 AM

I looked hard i can't find it used or new.Wonder if a newer np205 one would work or not?

I've got one that the gear is good on but it has a cable broken off inside it. The other I have has the worn teeth. I'm going to see if a machinist friend can make me a new one. I wish I knew if the newer stuff would work. I was sure hoping someone had a gear.

Have you tried http://www.quad4x4.com/New_Process_NP205_Parts.html i didn't look through there just posted the 205 link, i ordered 205 shims from them no problems

andrewmp6 · 05-20-2014, 02:18 AM

Or call them it looks like they have just about everything else for it.

IIRC, there are four different gears. You might want to calculate your tire and final gearing to pick the closest gear.

Did you ever find one? I got one off of a Dodge and had a hard time finding one at that. Ford is different. I tried Quad 4x4 and it had been discontinued. I ended up buying a tail housing with the housing, drive and driven gears off of evil bay. Was around 125 with shipping. It was expensive but I was pretty desperate.

I had another gear that had a speedo cable broken off in it and one that the gear was chewed up. I couldn't get the cable out so I had the gears cut in half and drilled for a dowel pin to align the 2 halves. I measured the overall length before and made sure it was the same before tig welding the halves together. Basically took the best of both and made one good one.

Now that's "run whatcha brung"! Glad it worked out

**dutchmanz** · 06-14-2014, 03:01 PM

Guys, mine works great but I have friend building a truck and his 205 is missing the gear. I still need a gear for him if anyone has one.
