Recently I had a problem with my speedometer. It was falling down inside the
console so far that I could only see from 40-60 MPH. This was no huge problem
though it annoyed me. Then the needle snapped off. The other day, I took the
assembly apart and super glued a plastic sword toothpick to the center post
to act as a needle. (Also to give it some more personality) But I have a
concern about this. Is it weight sensitive? I am sure that the toothpick is
heavier than the original needle, so my question is: Is my speedo accurate
anymore? It seems to be, but I have a bit of a habit to press the gas pedal,
and I like to know exactly how fast I am going. If anyone has any feedback on
this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
