I popped the dash,  the black plastic holding the clock assembly has become
brittle and broken allowing the clock to move back when I attempt to adjust
it.  I held the clock from the back and adjusted.  So far it seems to keep
time OK.

My 80 Vanagon has a working Odometer.  is it feasable to get the stripped
gear from it and repair my 87?  Does anyone on the list know how?
