Title: Gearbox - Plastic speedo drives. Post by: JoeBeta on October 29, 2010, 02:26:14 PM Hi Mark,
Would it be feasible to have the plastic speedo drives made up (which fit into the gearbox) I think there has been other inquiries on the forum about these??? cheers Joe Title: Re: Gearbox - Plastic speedo drives.

don't know if anyone in the UK is using one yet, anyway here's the link http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/jay-leno/technology/4320759 (http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/jay-leno/technology/4320759) Geoff Title: Re: Gearbox - Plastic speedo drives.

With the spur gear for the speedo drive i'd have a look through the davall gears catalogue first - there's a good chance they'll have something similar. Stuart |
