speedometer repairs?

[mark t4]

Hi

I have a 1960 morris minor that ive not long bought and the speedo doesnt work correctly. As soon as i set off the needle
shoots up to 30mph then anything after about 20mph (actual speed) the needle goes all the way round to the stop!

The odometer reads correct though. is the speedo repairable or do i start looking for a replacement?

Thanks

Mark

Check the condition of the inner and outer cables.
It may well be cheaper to replace the speedo than to repair it. The important thing is to make sure that it has the same 4 fig TPM (1504).
