RE: [T3] Broken Odometer and insurance gripes


Hoy.  Okay.  Where do you live that your insurance agents are such
*ss-holes?  Sheesh.  Some of the things I've cobbled together and driven
here in AZ amaze even me that they ran, and the agents never even glanced at
the car.

I just had my speedo-odo rebuilt (it was dead).  It cost me $87 (well,
actually about $101 or so, because I replaced the cable too); I just took it
to a speedo shop and said 'fix.'  

The gearing of your transmission won't have any effect on the reading of the
speedo, as the speedo takes its' reading off the LS front wheel; only the
size of the front wheel will do that.  The guy at the speedo shop said that
the bearings in the speedos overheat and sieze all the time.  As cheap as
the cable was though, I just replaced it, too (it's kind of a trick to snake
it blind through the fender well, but be persistant).

If you're in need, I have a spare speedo; but it needs to be re-built as
well.  You could get a speedo from that van meet, get it rebuilt, and then
swap it out, whatever.
