hello all,
 
Over the last 2 years, with considerable help from this list, I have gotten my 
TR3 back on the road.  There are still many issues but it basically is 
roadworthy.  Thanks again for the help!!!
 
 
Now my problem:  The speedometer has not worked for 25 years(of course 23 of 
those years, nothing worked).  I put the car up on blocks, started it, put it 
into gear and found that the cable was not spinning at all.  But I could see 
that the gear that you insert the cable into was spinning.  So I put some duct 
tape on the end of the cable and basically forced it into the gear.  Now it 
seems to work fine but I doubt that this will be a long term solution.
 
It seems I may need a new speedometer drive gear(Moss 697-220) but they list as 
NA.
 
Does this seem like the solution ie a new drive gear?
 
If so and I can find one, how does one install it?
 
 
Thanks
