I know folks rebuild the things all the time could that help the situation? if so i have a friend that has rebuilt acouple of splitties maybe he could do the bay one. man, not only that but ifmy memory serves me correct that is a 68-69 only speedo.I rebuilt the one in my '69 beetle several years ago. Well, rebuilt isn't the rightword, I cleaned it thoroughly and reset the odometer to "0". Unless something has broken already then it more an excersize in patiencethan difficulty. You have to be careful working the bezel lose from the glassand face. Then when you get inside the odometer had lots of TINY pieces. Cut up an old BRIGHT white T-shirt to cover your work area.If you discover broken parts in the odometer, just remove the whole thng and leave he speedo intact until you can get a replacement. The fact that yours hasn't been "talking to you" makes me suspect it is the odometer rather thanthe speedometer section that is going bad. The one in the bug screamed and squealed and jumped for weeks before it started eating cables. Gerald -- No virus found in this incoming message.
