Speedometer Disassembly Guide

Post by faux40 »

This might be helpful... I put together a guide to disassembling a Patrol speedometer. The pdf file is here:

Great guide!
I disassembled my speedo and instrument clusters last week.
Hardest part was undimpling, then separating the metal rings.
BTW...have you ever done moonlighting for a Cal Worthington?

Funny you should ask about Cal... What gave you that idea? That's really funny ... I actually have 18-minutes of right seat time in Cal's learjet (endorsed and everything! Way back in 1992 or 1993). My flight instructor was Cal's co-pilot. I got a call late one night and my instructor asked if I was interested in a round trip to Reno in Cal's lear... Duh! Of course! Anyway, Cal, my instructor, Cal's lawyer Spot and I flew from Cal's ranch near Orland, CA to Reno. On the way home, they put me in the pilot seat and let me fly the jet. Cal took over on short-final -- probably didn't want me to bend his pretty jet. I'm so grateful to Cal and my flight instructor for that!

This is the plane... http://www6.landings.com/cgi-bin/nph-se ... umber=58cw

Wow, I really miss flying...
