Beetle Speedometer Needle

Post by No More Landy »

Hi All

I just completed restoring my speedometer that was making a hell of a racket due to all the grime and dry grease in it and I decided to reset the mileage to zero same time.

Just wanted to know how to refit the speedometer needle to get the correct speed.

Do I need to have some slight tension on the coil spring when pressing the needle back on?

Would hate to assemble the whole lot and find the speedo is way out.

Thanks
