Guest gd2973 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Bought my first model A 3 weeks ago, ordered and installed a new speedo cable ( inner piece only) after 8/10 of a mile cable twisted in half as other one had. Any Ideas???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Welcome to the AACA Discsussion Forum!Sounds like the speedometer is in need of rebuilding or lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gd2973 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have a book that explains how to disassemble and lube, I have done gunsmith work and am mechanicaly inclined, is this as tricky as the book says( ie mainspring), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I wish I knew. I have never personally had to open one up, so I would have to assume the book is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gd2973 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well I did it. Seems to have fixed problem removed spedo from dash disassembled and cleaned wheels inside( jeweled shaft and hairspring VERY FRAGILE) removed internal drive gear and lubricated . Works as good as new, not a difficult procedure but requires a delicate touch. Thanks for the help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
