That's two big thank you's for you David!

Seems that there is a seal behind the setting lever on the passenger side of the OD that is held in place with a roll pin. You may be able t replace that.
The one on the solenoid side you just have to remove the plate and replace the "O" ring.

David,

have you any idea where you can buy those two "O" rings? I think I found one in Moss cat. but not positive? Dick

I remember seeing a tech tip on another forum about replacing the pin on the setting lever with a socket head screw. I believe it is a #6 or #8). The lever must be drilled&tapped and a portion of the screw mus

Dick-I believe the O rings are #109, available locally at hardware or auto parts stores.

Found them at Moss, Thanks Guys.

The "O" ring in the plate I have in the photo is not a standard o ring it is a square section ring. I do not remember if I got it from Moss or Rimmer. They both call it an "O" ring and call for 2.

Do not get any sealer on the "O" ring r shaft as it has to turn freely for the OD to disengage.

There is an interesting feature of the new website. I started typing the below response yesterday, but must have not hit the post button. It saves your typing! Anyway, with my delay, David beat me to it!...

The diagram gives the impression the o ring goes on the outside of the solenoid cover. It actually goes on the inside.

John, do you know of a repair shop that works on speedometers?

I had my speedo done at Nisonger's.

I sent my speedo to Nisongers. It did not go well.

In the end I had to purchase an NOS unit from London. Lots of $$$ and aggro in the meantime.

Morris Mintz at West Valley Instruments has a great reputation.

Thanks Geo.

I have removed the outer cover next to the solenoid. Apparently I need to now remove, what Moss call the 866-340 Bracket, to get to the O ring location on the backside? I see there is another gasket 866-350, I need to get too. Dick

 

[DavidApp]

I presume you must have a cover over the solenoid lever?
This is how the later ones look there is no cover over the lever so yes you will have to remove the Bracket and may need a new gasket if it gets damaged. I made one from gasket material from Advanced Auto.

[Redoakboo]

Is that bracket easy to take off and on? Are there any springs that are going to come out, when I loosen the bracket? From the earlier pic you sent me, I assume the "O" ring mounts in the back side of that bracket?

Thanks David; wish you lived next door.

Dick

 

[DavidApp]

The bracket comes off easily but you will need to unclamp the solenoid actuator arm. There is the big accumulator spring but it does not jump out.
Be careful how you apply gasket sealant as the shaft needs to rotate freely.

Thanks David,

Might lose a little oil?

David,
How did you remove the pin in the lever? I have bent 4 nails trying to drive it out?

Sorry I didn't complete the original posting, I meant to delete it and couldn't.
A nail set or hardened punch may be a better weapon to remove the pin. I don't think it is tapered, so it should be possible to remove it from either side after removing any peening.
