Re: Automatic gear indicator needle install

Okay the replacement piece I ordered isn't even close to that. I got it from ecklers. I tried to upload the photo but I can't get a tough load right now but yeah the one I got isn't even close to that

The photo below shows the components of a 67-70 indicator, although the little L shaped lens is not shown in the correct orientation in the photo. The housing has two delicate little feet on the bottom at the wide end that are disengaged from the colum by rotating the housing left or right prior to lifting up on it. If you pull straight up, you will likely damage the feet.
