Ok folks I have donea search but it was more about speedos not working.
After a 750 mile round trip I think the vibration has made Myrtles speedo /mileometer dial slip in the dash. The hood over the console seems loose and its dropped about an inch. Its all still working though.
My question is how do i refix this I'm terrified I'm going to break it. I may be female but I have stubby fingers and Im cack handed.

Re: My speedo and mileometer dial had dropped in dash
Hello stranger are you going to the sands in a few weeks ?
Same happened to my speedo, take off the cover, two screws I think and look at the back of the speedo to see if the screws are still there .If it's like mine and the corners of the speedo housing have broken causing the clock to move down all I did was glue it back into place but use a glue that doesn't set solid , i used a rubber glue so I could get it apart if needed . then I just put some small bits of duck tape just to help hold it in place while the glue dried.
hope this helps .
