WTB Speedometer
I want to get a speedometer so I can troubleshoot the one I have. It is making a chirping noise, and I can't figure out if it is the gauge or the cable.
It does not have to look great. If I use it, I will replace the needle and face plate with the ones from my current setup (white gauges). Shipping to Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027. Thanks,

Re: WTB Speedometer
Okay, I'll try that. I won't know until I get it out of the paint shop in a couple of weeks. Is is best just to take the cable completely off and pour graphite lube down the cable housing.
The speedo chirps and bounces. Thanks,

Re: WTB Speedometer
I have a spray can of graphite lube, and it came with a little plastic extension tube, so you can spray it in there.
