<VV> Dash parts (instruments) needed

[J R Read_HML]

Hi guys/gals

I don't have a Corsa, but I have a Corsa dash in my '65 Monza.

Shortly before the '06 convention, the interior got quite damp.  Top down in 
the rain (dumb on my part).  About 2 or 3 days later, a big (20 amp) fuse 
blew.  After some trouble shooting, I traced it to the clock.  Since that 
fuse covers other items, I simply unplugged the clock and went to convention 
with everything else being fine.  My best guess (not verified) is that the 
dampness in the car caused a problem with the points inside the (original 
style) clock essentially caused a direct short.

Next, the speedo started acting up about a month after convention.  I don't 
know if that is related to the damp condition or old age (probably the 
later).  When moving, the needle shows about 50% or so more than actual 
speed but the (regular) odo does not move.  The trip odo (after reset to 
zero) runs backward.  It will go from 000000 to 999999 and has worked its 
way down to 666666 after an estimated 800 to 1,000 miles.  So, I'm pretty 
sure the cable is fine and the speedo itself is broken.

Can anyone help (at an affordable price - I just went onto Social Security 
in Oct) with a working clock and/or speedo head for a Corsa dash?  If I have 
to, I'll just put the original Monza dash back in but I would really miss 
the head temp gauge which was the real reason for the Corsa dash in the 
first place since the car has a 140 engine.

Sometimes I'm overly verbose.  Short version... I need a Corsa clock and 
speedo head.
