Easier odometer repair

Just fixed the odo, wanted to share...

Having owned an 85 Porsche 944, I've done the whole slipping-gear-on-a-VDO repair before. Pulling the whole thing apart, then trying to carefully super glue just the right spot wasn't any fun for me at all. So I was looking to do something different on this one.

I was happily surprised to find that the optimum spot for the slipping gear was flush with a nearby ledge. It took all of 3 minutes to cut out a little piece of plexiglass and super glue that in there. (see attachment) The gear now has no room to travel. I even threw a little grease in there for good measure. Took me longer to reconnect the stupid speedometer cable.

opinions?
