Re: 63 odometer gears replacement

I don't particularly like pulling out the cluster - not a big fan at all so if I can minimize that with a $2.00 part I will. And the closest local repair shop I'd trust with my one year only gauges is Bill Harrison and he's over two hour drive away. Your car do as you see fit though.

Really - that bracket is 1" wide with two 90* bends out of as strong a steel as you can bend with ease. The hole is the size of the bolt that supports the steering column mast bracket with the length on that 1" wide portion long enough to fit up in the bracket snugly. After bending that down 90* you are better off determining the next bend for your particular car so that the knurled trip knob is pushed up high and tight. Then just cut the end under the knob that projects rearward short enough to cover the knob but not stick out obscenely....so start out with the piece longer than you ned by a good margin.

Not much to it really. I eyeballed it and basically measured nothing...
