Does anyone know if the speed minder needle is gloss or flat white? Mine is flat now, but both it and the speedo needle are faded badly.

What ever you want it be. Actually I have never seen a gloss one. They are usually flat white. They are also usually very delicate. Be very careful not to break it.

I'd say yellow, lol. Here is a pic of a nos one that was on ebay last week.

Well that's interesting. Did anyone on the board get that one? I would like to see another picture. It may be how the camera picked up the needle, but it sure does look like it has some yellow to it.

Here is the link, but that's the only front pic. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-...spagenameZWDVW Nobody even bid on it, but it was expensive. My needle is the same color as the one pictured. I thought it was just faded, but I guess not.
