I have two speedo's, one rally and one standard. The speedo pointer in the center of the rally guage speedo was broken off in shipping, and I must find a way to change the needles from my old one to the rally speedo....Ipossible, right?

You mean I found a question that can't be answered. If someone knows a good restoration guy, don't mind sending it out.. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Goathead, you should be able to do this yourself. I have changed needles on a number of guages for myself over the years. Caution is the key word. If you wish to send it out, get on the Hemmings Motor News website and order one of their annual vendor books. You should be able to find a number of vendors who restore guages. Jon.

462, your profile won't allow ratings. Did you pay your $10.00? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I'll recommend Peter Serio of Precision Pontiac in Columbus, OH. He's great and a real gentleman
