A question for anyone who has a Sierra speedo/instrument pod please.

My speedo needle is hanging downwards to 6 o clock. It should obviously be at zero but there is no stop pin and I cant find any sign of one that may have been snapped off at some time. I can easily drill a tiny hole and glue in a pin but I would just like to know what was there originally.

No Stop pin, it must be internal.

The needle probably needs re-aligining with zero

Pull it off, turn it to 0 and push it back on.

Simples

Next question--I am buying up a few clocks/guages for my post IVA dash.Would any electric impulse type rev counter/tacho work accurately with my sierra cvh. Also is my oil pressure switch fairly easily adapted to a tube for oil pressure guage.

Thanks in advance.
