Re: [T3] Later model gauges

<x-charset iso-8859-1>My odometer works, but my speedo spring/gears must be worn because it turns
around 100 when I'm doing about 60, and its very erratic.  It also makes a
humming noise that gets louder as speed increases.  Sometimes if I tap it
while I'm driving it will stop.

How much do you charge to just rebuild the speedo if the odometer is in good
shape?
