1925-27 speedometer piece needed

I think this is from a 1925 Buick. Anyway, the soft, gray, metal piece is broken. I've tried gluing it back together but the whole thing is cracked in many places--probably has been dropped or fallen. Does anyone have a spare piece for this, or will buy the whole speedometer if I must. I think one from 1924 through 1927 will be pretty much the same.

Pete,this speedo is not dropped or fallen, if you bay 10 of them you are lucky if one of them are all right.They looks the same insaid(cracked) almost everyone but the first you need to look at is that the speedo turn freely from O to the end before you bay,if they don`t they looks like the one you have.
What I know you can probarly use parts from as you wrote 1924-1927 both Standard and Master mod.

Just wondering if even 1928 speedos inside parts can be used for earlier speedos.

I have several older (round) Stuart speedos, but don't know of they are the same inside.

Re: 1925-27 speedometer piece needed

The insides of the 1928 Speedometers are different from the 1927 and earlier speedometers.

I seem to remember trying to fit a 28 spedo in a 27 case and it would not fit.

The 28 speedometer is much improved over the earlier ones.

Leif is correct in that if you wiggle the spedometer and the wheel does not move, the part that holds the number wheel is probably broken.

There are master and standard number wheels. Without looking, I think that the standard goes to 90 or 95 mph and the master goes to 105 mph
