Put my ausmini.com stickers on then took them off as the lettering was stuck on the wrong side i think. the sticky lettering was stuck to the contact. I tried to peel it off and it broke :/

Hi Steve,

Since the overhaul is the needle nice and steady?

Mine wobbles a little (+/- 2 mph) up to say 50 then starts to get worse. Also reads about 5mph fast.

I'm wondering if it's worth getting looked at.


it seems fine and steady yes - I took it back in there this arvo and he checked then and there why the miles weren't ticking over and showed me the tiny cog wheel was missing one tooth! - ten mins later he had replaced it and I reinstalled the speedo in his carpark and drove away a happy customer

$110 inc GST for the speedo overhaul


Good work!
I have been playing with speedos lately just to see what goes wrong and how you can get them right. They are fairly simple but you need a stock of spares, so $110 is just too easy! :D

The wavering needle can be caused by a cable or it can be dried up grease binding a shaft in the speedo. A service should fix it easily.

Fitted the timber dash, then the steering column and wheel. Looks like the steering rack may be out 1 tooth :( May have to dismantle and change so the blinkers will cancel correctly. More work :shock:

Hope it's not the one I did..
Standard pinion position (the later ones with the slot, not the groove) is with the slot at bottom when rack is centred.
There are only 5 teeth on the pinion, so 1 tooth is a long way, =72°

Nah! Its the one I did with your bearings and pinion.
I think its good? The slot is at the bottom and I think I have aligned the blinker cutoff at 90deg or horizonal, which is incorrect as blinkers are a little higher than horizontal.
So yes I can't move the pinion as it would then be way out.

Steering rack seems to be aligned OK so I fitted the front subframe tonight.

Took it for a run, few issues...
The major one is my brakes work great!! But it takes a second for the brakes to release from when I take my foot off the brake!
Any ideas?? Going to drive it a bit more, just hoping its something a bit sticky after not being used for 10 months!

It's running direct through the alternator output fused to a switch which is rated at 16 amp.
The horn only draws 3 amps according to the packet.
