Title: 'nother speedo question
Post by: rprata on July 24, 2003, 08:49:36 PM
Well if you have seen my other posts, you know I lowsided today and broke a bunch of stuff on my '96.  One of the damaged areas is the plastic area that houses the speedometer.  I will replace the speedo cable tomorrow.  I wonder if the plastic housing can be replaced without replacing the whole thing?  Do the actual gauges come out of the housing so that I can replace just the housing, or do I need to seek out a set of gauges?  don't wanna do that if I can help it (Odometer etc)

Also, where would I find such a thing (the plastics, or the entire gauges).

Any ideas?  I need to find some left-side rear plastics too.  eBay I guess!

yes , you can replace just the guage bucket.  I hope you are talking about the black one .

it's a simple swap too.  all you need is a screw driver and an 8(?)mm socket.  the rest is tool free.
