HEY all you parts hoarders! I need the two odometer/tripometer drive gears for my TR2 speedo. They were the same for at least the TR2-3s.
You know, the ones that set up inside the speedo housing, and the fiber teeth get stripped as soon as the cable gets turned after the car has been sitting for years
(note to restorers. I would highly reccomend disconnecting the speedo cable fom any project car that has been sitting for a long time BEFORE YOU EVER MOVE THE CAR! These are easy to free up, but it does no good once the teeth are stripped.)
If you have a TR and the odometer dosen't work, this is almost assuredly what has happened.
I opened mine up today, and found out that someone had removed all the odometer and tripometer drive mechanism long ago. I have everything to replace the missing bits but a good set of gears!
So who's got 'em??? hehehehe
Depending on how this goes, I may try to find a supplier for these gears (If I'm thinking right, there may be a market)
