Help needed to find small missing part (1 Viewer)

[dajojo1]

Hey everyone,

I am putting my Instrument cluster back together and I can't find the small part that holds the needle of the temp gauge. I must have dropped it before it made it in to my ziplock but now I cant find it. Any ideas on how I could make something that will do the same thing or where I could get a new/used one.

Thanks

You could drill/file a piece say 1/4 or 3/8 plastic to make the part if nothing else can be found or work. Myself I would use a q-tip to oil the shaft and carrier lightly (a release agent) and then inject a bunch of hot glue to mound over the shaft.

Id start by measuring it with a vernier caliper and then search around for a plastic spacer. You might get lucky but I guess the hole is quite small - 1.5mm??

earing back ? or one of those little black things from the Disney pins ?

I may have one on a parts cluster. I can check after work today.

I've got one if you want it. Send me your address and I will throw it in the mail. I will just send you the whole temp gauge.

Thank you so much for this. I sent you a PM with my address. Let me know how much the shipping is at least, so I can cover that.

It's on the way. Sent you a PM with tracking #.
