[DML] Re: Speedometer Button Question



The trip reset shaft can be replaced, though technically it requires the speedo to be 
recalibrated as you must remove the face (and therefore the needle) to replace the shaft. I 
seem to recall Marty Maier had a method of doing it that did not require recalibration. 
Perhaps he will chime in.

The other thing to consider is that the shafts themselves were an AC/Delco part that has 
since been discontinued. We recently bought a handful of this old stock, and each and 
every one has a crack in the plastic "toothed" portion where it meets the metal pin that 
sticks out. This means that it won't take much use to break again.

We're having the shafts remanufactured both to have a supply again, and also to correct 
the flaw that appears in the originals. These should be available later this spring.

Binnacle removal has been covered several times on the DML, and can be found here"
