Hey mudders,
I'm fixing up my speedo and needing some help and advice please. I've gone through the odometer threads (and they were very helpful) but I have a couple of unanswered questions, and here are some pics to help:
1. My speedo from an 84 BJ42LX front and back
2. Speedo from and an 83 FJ40LX front and back
My unit is missing the bit that fits into the back of the housing above the speedo - the piece with the white and black wires. I assume it is some form of light? Why would the PO remove this?
Aside from the "JO6" label on the face of the '83 speedo and "JO7" on the face of the '84 speedo - they look identical. Does anyone know if there are any other differences between these two units that would cause me hassles if I swap bits from one to the other?
And how do I remove the speedo indicator needle without trashing it?
Thanks,
