Rem18 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Does someone repair these now or is there an article for DIY. I have a collection of angle drives I could spend the winter doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arky_MGB Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 On 6/25/2015 at 12:33 PM, AlanT said: Maybe grease has got into the speedo head from the drive cable. This could allow the spinning magnet to drag the needle a bit. It's not easy to think of things that make the reading be too fast. Too slow has obvious causes. By the way I have a genuine Smiths drive that should work fine. Came to me with a broken wire and has my 3mm key-steel fix for this. It's like the one I did for Neil. Also the Smiths originals are so much better than the repros I will buy any broken ones and try to rebuild them.

I have replaced this wire-stub with 3mm key-steel as discussed on this topic: http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/47968-pesky-right-angled-drives/page-3 I would be interested in purchasing one for a 1973 MGB, which is currently and repeatedly eating the cheap angle drives available from Moss.
