Wow. Strange problem.
I would think the folks at north Hollywood speedometer or Palo Alto speedometer would have replacements. This would be a vdo part, so unlikely you can buy a spare one. They could also fix it. |

Holy cow! I never believed the old saying that if you use it too much it will fall off!
Any of the gauge repair places sell them.

Man, how the heck did that happen? Never seen a needle brake like that.

My '67 912 has the same issue. It was already broken when I bought the car so I have no idea how it happened.

Unless you have mad skills, send it to north... and have them fix it, pretty sure they have them.
