That part was not touched (Except by glue). The needle itself broke off. The
base is still there. I tried to position it to counterbalance the weight, but
when I pull out, it doesn't seem to register anything until I get going.
Before the needle broke off, it was very bouncy, now it's not so much
sluggish, but it's steady. It's hard to explain. I just don't want to get
pulled over (Not that that is too much of a problem with these, but as I said
before, I like to move) for going 5 above the speed limit, if the cop feels
like being precise.
