odometer gear toasted

[jesper moreau]

Ok, salvage is an option... the yard around here wants me to buy the
the whole cluster... 45.00!!!
um, for a gear that may go in a week, a month a year...not for 45
buckaroos. but if anyone would like to sell one or knows of a place
that carries new ones or metal ones..... well I would be very
interested.
If I wasn't breaking in the engine i just rebuilt, I wouldn't be so
anxious about this silly pos plastic gear....lol
TIA!!!
