unimogjohn Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Tim, Bobs Speedometer at Bob's Speedometer does good work. Give them a call. I had mine rebuilt for about $260. Or do a search on the web and you will find quite a few instrument repair places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MORRISGAUGE Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Final price usually depends on the repairs and restoration needed. A basic speedometer rebuild, on average, runs $150. Parts, odometer refinishing, etc. increase the invoice. Is your current speedometer doing/not doing anything in particular? What is the cosmetic scenario?

Bleach Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I looked at a 41 Buick several months back. All the gauge faces were warped because of the plastic used on them. The speedometer needle was stuck because of it. I have a feeling it may be a common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrimc Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 The needle for the mph works just wanting to get the mileage and trip meter working they just recently quit the cosmetic's are still in pretty fair shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most likely have worn out 1st/2nd worm gears, which is common for that design. You should expect that your speedometer will require a magnet shaft, 2nd worm cross shaft and potentially require the frame to be machined and bushed.
