Re: Whats missing???



You just happened to find one of the "missing" parts that don't hardly 
show up anywhere. Refer to Workshop Manual J:02:01 fig #4. You are 
probably missing the speedo drive cap. Remove the front left wheel and 
it is supposed to be in the center connecting the square rod from the 
ange drive to the spindle assembly. It is captured in between the rim 
and the spindle when the wheel is installed. Usually it isn't missing 
but the square hole in the center rounds out allowing the wheel to 
turn without turning the angle drive. I am suprised that the vendor 
you purchesed the parts from didn't mention at least checking it 
before ordering the other parts since when parts are missing you don't 
always know what to expect and even if it's there it was possibly 
worn out. To test the parts you already have just put a drill on the 
square of the angle drive and you should see the speedo move. (Make 
sure to turn in the correct direction, CCW).

rod goes on to the Speedo nut(105027) it looks like the should be a 
part for the square end to goes into, and I can't see it in the parts 
manual.
