I too am struggling with a speedometer that is jumping sometimes, stable other times, and will not work at all at times. Next try is to resolder all the points on the back of the cluster. '90 740 GLE

As for yours, I would think a careful filing of the damaged contact ..as long as there is plenty of contact area on the underside, it should work fine with some dielectric grease.

Also I wonder is there is any thin metal tape that could be cut to shape and cover both sides of the damaged contact. Just an idea!

Post back any success.
