 |
|
I took out my speedo yesterday to do a quick restore and hopefully fix the common broken odometer gear. After pulling it apart and finding the cracked gear, I was able to 3D print a new one and put it back together seamlessly. The motor was just rebuilt so I put it back to zero. I drove it about 5 miles after install and the odometer is moving great! (First time in 10 years!) Hopefully it holds up! Anyone else 3D printed parts for their car?
Now just need to figure out why the gas gauge barely works.

Nice job - I 3D printed many parts for my last project. Lots of little stuff, like caps, bushings and knobs. I even made an adapter plate for a fuse box for aftermarket American Autowire fuse box to mount in stock location without welding or drilling anything, worked great.
