Alain from Normandy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hello, restoration of my Chrysler E65 (1929) is going well, engine is almost completed! At same time, I am working on dashboard. And it appeared that my odometer is broken (see picture). Does anybody has a spare part ? Or knows where to find one? Thanks a lot Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Is that all you got or have you just removed the inner pieces to display the falling apart numbers? If everything else is in place and the speedo works, you will just need some number stickers for the odometer. Several vendors can redo those, not everyone uses high quality glue...

viv w Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The decals look pretty much the same as Model A ford, have a look at Snyders or Mac's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maok Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Here is a Ford Model A (30-31) speedo that looks to be the same as yours. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-A-Ford-Stewart-Warner-ROUND-Rebuild-Speedometer-30-31-GUARANTEED/264603089322?hash=item3d9b92b9aa:g:jtgAAOSwjvJZRVr2 I did a swap on my '28 series 62 from a early (28-29) model A, had to do a little modification to make it work.

Alain from Normandy Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I need to change it as the inner parts are broken, it is not turning anymore. I didn't know about the model A compatibility, that's a good news! I will have a look on this solution... Viv w, I don't know Snyders or Mac's, do you have a address, please? For all for the tips's Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi Alain, The Model A Ford speedo mechanism is different to your Chrysler one, but the Model A decals for the trip mileage look very similar. Unfortunately a lot of speedo's were made of diecast pot metal in this era and suffer from swelling or crumbling metal. As it would appear that may be the problem with your unit, you will probably have to try and source a complete speedo.

Narve N Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have a Series 66 speedo which is fair (same size, different font) and might have a repairable Series 65 speedo. Typical S65 dash (not mine) Note this one has a kmh speedo The S66 speedo I have with mph speedo. Very few people can tell the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have one with very good mechanism and numbers inside. Front bezel measures approximately 52mm x 60mm at widest parts. 3 hole mounting pattern is different than other speedometer pictured above. Housing has a side window for back lighting from external light source. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha39 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Alain does speak English so he needs a friend to translate for him, that friend sometimes isn't available so it takes a while for him to reply.

Alain from Normandy Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Good morning all, effectively as said by "Sasha39", Alain does not speak English. I am his sin in law, my name is Ludovic and I am also his particular translator because we French! My wife allows me to spend time helping her father at distance despite my many trips a week! Alain lives in north of France and me in south. "Broker-len" we did not understand your post, does your speedo and trip mileage work? "Oregon Desert", we are interested in your meter, we would like to contact you directly by e-mail if possible? "Narve" did you get time to look at your counters and the bumper? Thanks again to all of you and many apologies for our late responses -> (personal message from Ludovic) Alain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha39 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Ludovic, If you want to communicate with someone by email go to their post or message and click onto their user name on the lefthand side of the post like "Oregon Desert model 45" it will open a page where you can click on to the envelope to send him a direct email, hope this might help you.
