odometer question PLEASE
 

Hello, I recently bought a 1974 914, odometer says 99500 exactly. Is that the mechanical limit or did it just happen to break there ????????????????
Any odometer experts out there? Also how hard is it to fix?, have a link to the repair tutor?

they always break around 100 K

I seem to remember there is a plastic gear in the back of the odometer that makes it go

Thanks to both of you, Tobra do you know if it is hard to take it out and work on?

Not that hard, but kind of fiddly.

Thanks Dave, will be studying the information you gave me

If you want it restored

Palo Alto Speedometer: Repair, Restoration, and Sales of Automobile Gauges

I agree send it to Palo Alto for a correct and thorough repair, no way you can repair it yourself and have it look right. Hartmut owns the place

THANKS SO MUCH guys, jesiv and dr914, I called them and probably will send it to them.

Many people repair themselves and make it look great. We bought all the parts to repair and backdate gauges for our 911 builds. With online directions and YouTube videos, it can easily be done at home.

Thanks mepstein and all the rest, I might try it myself to save $
