Subject:Life after speedometer
From:Jeff Palmer

When I parked my 85 Westfalia last fall the trip odometer had just bit the
dust, never mind the four broken screws that attach the speedometer to the
whole cluster.  The snow is starting to subside so today I removed the
entire unit for further inspection.  I noticed that I was able to reset the
trip odometer when I pressed the bar attached to the gears, and that the
black plastic reset button had become separated from whatever it was
connected to.  It has no 'spring' in it but doesn't seem broken.

Is this too good to be true?  Does that odometer reset button somehow attach
to the bar?  Maybe it isn't broken after all?!

Thanks
Jeff
