Be careful if you use superglue, wait a few days before putting the bezels back on. I assembled mine right away and it fogged the housings bad!

Put in a little silica gel prior to assembly?

Will bear that in mind thanks

Make sure you also fix the underlying problem too, which is probably deteriorated foam / damper rubbers, or you'll be doing it all again in future.

Thanks ,I mounted it in a surround I made to fit on my street fighter at the time and that is what caused the problem .now I want to put the original clocks and surround back on which I think are in good condition but I will double check.

Finally got around to putting a new needle on the Speedo , ground the old needle off the centre pivot then super glued new one in place after cutting it to size ,now preparing case for Paint.

Nice fix. Another option if the original needle is unfixable and again avoids the dangers trying to remove the centre pivot mounting from the shaft
