Broken speedo needle

Need help ASAP!! i was putting on my white overlays and as i pulled off my needle, the shaft that goes in to, or comes out of the needle broke and now i am about to shoot myself for doing this.. i need help. First can anyone tell me if the thin shaft goes out of the needle and into the speedo or the other way around? if it goes in that way i can just take out the part thats in the speedo right? all i have to do is find another needle and put it in, in that case. I need help cause TGO nats are tomorrow and i need this to get done by the end of today! please help me.. here is a pic of what happend..

Look in the phonebook under Speedometers. OR something of that sort.

I did the same thing and the local shop charged me $25 to fix and calibrated it for me.

I wouldn't want to rip into a speedo like that if it were me, so I took it somewhere.
