do you mean the plastic on the needle, or the metal shaft that the needle mount to? if the needle, you can glue it back together or use the one off of another cluster. if the shaft, then use the shaft from the 85 mph speedo im sure you have and swich them. just be sure to you a feeler gauge to measure the distance between the magnetic drive and the weight on the shaft, other wise you will need it recalibrated.

good luck
