A note of caution is in order here -- the plastic needle has probably become
very brittle due to years of sun exposure. Funny story (TR6 Funny -- some
would be reduced to tears):
I had my tach apart and cleaned, sitting on the counter in the kitchen
airing out waiting to be reassembled. I was in the garage taking apart the
speedo and in the process broke the needle. I was hot! I decided to walk
away and headed into the kitchen for a cold one to take the edge off. As I
step into the kitchen, my 7-year old is sitting at the counter moving the
tach needle with his finger saying "this is neat... dad it broke". Yeah,
both needles broken in the span of about 5 minutes. Don't worry, no harm
came to the kid....
