[V8] Fixed broken dimmer dial inside cluster........

[Tony and Lillie]

And for the odo fix, replace the gears. Odometergears.com is where I buy 
them. Done quite a few over the years.

You will have to completely dissassemble the face of the speedo, which 
actually isn't as dificult as it sounds. Then pull the motor off the side, 
replace the gears, and reassemble. Honestly the hardest part is getting the 
needle in the right place.
