Evening,

Investigating speedo failure led to me removing the drive.

I have a red 18 tooth drive. It seems that these are NLA.

The plastic part is in tact, but spinning on the splines on the shaft.

Do you recommend trying to repair it or can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier?

Mini Spares appear to supply used, but are out of stock.

Many thanks.

You've nothing to  lose in having a go I guess. Drill it & pin it? Don't see why you couldn't put a small pin through the teeth if you sink it deep enough. Equal lengths either side of the spindle would resist being flung out better.

I've cleaned them and used industrial grade super glue to hold them together with good success.
