I just broke my speedo
Anyone know how to replace the needle in my speedo?
I was cleaning and my rag barely got snagged and the thin shaft broke.

Best I could say is take out your gauge cluster and carefully disassemble it to see if you can get at the speedometer. Take some plastic superglue (from hobby/craft shops) and glue that needle back on there if the shaft is plastic. If it's metal... maybe try JB Weld.

I just had to replace mine. The needle broke in 2, then when I tried to glue it back togeather, it broke again. I went to wrecking yard & found 1. I pulled the needle off with metal speedometer plate so I would not break it. Also replaced the green plastic piece behind it as well. Installed & works great
