Subject:Ideas wanted...Dreaded speedo/housing breakage repair

Has anyone found a fix/re-engineer for the problem of the speedo breaking
out of the back of the instrument cluster (housing) ?

I have pushed my speedo trip reset one too many times and now have the
speedo broken out of the back of the housing again. I have a new one I
salvaged from a 85 but am trying to reinforce it before putting it in.

New ones from VW are $200.00 and will eventually degrade (plastic) from sun
and heat here in AZ. Although I bet they will last a bit longer than salvage
yard ones.
