Trip Meter

[3-D Video]

I've got a problem resetting my trip meter. The knob, plunger, doohicky thing-a-majig is missing. I don't have the speedo in front of me to play with, but I'd like to have every thing I need to fix it when I do (in a week or so)… it's about 2500km south of here.
I guess the big questions are, does it turn to reset? Push or pull to reset? Is it metal, plastic, or bamboo?

Thanks

It turns forward to reset,It's made of plastic with a threaded metal end that screws into the housing. :yes: :2tup:
It also turns forward to install.

Thanks, Blaine
That helps a lot. But, I'm still a little unclear. The "threaded metal end", does that screw into the casing, or into some part inside the casing. In other words, is it a guide on the outside, or does it thread onto (or into) something inside :??:

It threads on to a pin inside the housing.The plastic knob has a shaft about one inch long,the end of the shaft has threads on the inside.

hen installing the new knob for the trip meter you might want to dab a tiny bit of Blue Loctite into the shaft. It will not come of again due to vibration.

You can get a new knob??? The parts manual only shows the whole unit "speedometer". I figured I'd have to jerry-rig something…
Please, tell me more :2tup:

I don't think there is one listed.If you take the chrome housing off you can see much better what you might need.Only one screw and a couple of bulbs to remove.

Your probably going to have to get another speedo. Ron Ayers parts microfiche only show the speedometer. No separate parts.

Maybe a used one from eBay?
