Speedo swapped, some questions
Well i searched and didn't see the answer I was looking for.
I just swapped my 85mph speedo with a 145mph today. I also swapped out the odometer wheel in both since the difference between the two was rather large. I didnt take the needle off, but was able to get the odometer roll in and out. Once I swapped, everything went in great, put that little metal piece back on to hold the roll, and put my dash back together.
My speedo is working fine, but the odometer isnt moving. So is there any possible area I might have screwed up on?
Also, what are the odds I need to recalibrate since getting a new speedo? I feel like it might be off a little.
Other than that, the swap went fine

No need to calibrate anything.

Re: Speedo swapped, some questions
i only saw one clip like that and it was on the one side of the roll (the left if you look at it from the front). I put that back in and that secured the roll, but i didnt see a second one. the clip was a brownish color but im sure there was only one
