Re: Speedometer Dead

["Steve Rubano" <srubano@xxxx>]

Hi Joel,
It can be anything on the spedometer that died ranging from the 
plastic cup on the wheel all the way up to the cable. My suggestion 
would be to start from one end and work your way up. Take off the 
driver side wheel and inspect the plastic cap. Then check the angle 
drive (most common place for failure). Just a quick note, Rob at PJ 
Grady has a beefier angle drive made. Its made with all stainless 
steel gears (instead of the stock plastic ones) and a heavier drive. 
If you angle drive did go, I would recomend getting his new improved 
one and replace it. His number is (516) 589-6224. The angle drive is 
known to fail litterally over night. Like I said work from one end 
up, if you start in different places of the cable, you might drive 
yourself crazy. As you seperate the cables from each point, with the 
front driver side wheel slightly off the ground (after you checked 
the speedo cup) have someone turn the wheel by hand and look at the 
cable where you seperated it. If it turns then put it back together 
and continue to the next point until you find where it stops turning. 
Hope this helps.

Steve
