I have a speedometer issue. My mechanic says he doesn't even know this part number or anything see anything like it on his schematics. Anyone know what this is or where to get one? KARMA?

A picture of the speedo showing from where you think this part belongs would be most helpful.

BTW, that's a nice parts photo. I've spent hours taking photos of parts for fun...
Broken speedo cable...
Vanagon lock cores...
BMW motorcycle turn signal switch (broken and returned to service eight years ago...still working)....
More of that assembly...
Ignition switch...
