Hi Rich,

As no one has answered, have you tried G Whitehouse Autos, he had a very good name a few years ago.

Hi Brian

I eventually got one from them at a cost of seventy five squids

Old speedo drive housing was worn allowing cog to rattle itself to death

With new cog and cable had to make 3 mm spacer to make it work, I think that's why previous cog got chewed

Fingers crossed it will work for a while so far so good

All the best

When fitting pinion with David manners sourced cable I had to washer out the pinion to remove end float, spoke to graham White House about this and he thought it was fine

Just to say he could not have been more helpful. I will try to post a photo in case anyone else has a broken or wavering speedo on a dg box although I suspect a lot of the autos have long been converted

Photo won't upload from ipad so contact me in the case of anyone having the same problem
