<VV> speedo squeal

[Dave Thompson]

Lew,

 

You are absolutely right. 

 

However, I neglected to say in my original post that I have a two-year old
receipt of a rebuilt speedometer from the previous owner. I received the car
with 350 miles showing. With this in mind, and that the WD40 squirts worked
so far, I'm 99% sure that I just have a dry speedometer cable. I hope to
pull the inner cable, flush out the outer casing and put it back together
with some speedometer cable lube.  I'll find out for sure IF I can get to it
this weekend.

 

I filed your name and email under "speedometer". What other services do you
offer? I'm keeping a list of services & suppliers for future use.

 

Dave Thompson

Keep in mind that this is a forty year old speedo, and the grease in it is
that old also. Lubing the cable will not cure a speedo squeal. So, when you
need the speedo rebuilt, call me.
