Worked some on the odometer when we were putting the dash together on the
Yellow Peril. I set the mileage at 150005. I know it is more than that but
have no clew how much more. It ran up to 150011 and quit.
We took it out this morning and found the little white gear that runs it has
a crack in it from the center hole all the way to the outside, so no
interference fit on the shaft. No wonder it slips!
I looked at the odos from the two other dash panels I have of that type.
One gear has one crack and another one has 4 cracks!
Back in hazy memory there seems to be a few strings about someone who was
making new odometer gears for these cars. Can anybody remember who it was
or how I can find such a toothy animal, uncracked and maybe new?
