 Hi on 8/20 you wrote:
<<<<John,

  If and when you do get into that speedometer drive gear it would be nice if
you report to the list on your experience.  We discussed this back about a
month ago and there was some disagreement as to the composition of that gear.
Some thought it was metal and some nylon. 

    I, also, have a selfish motive.  Mine has been screwed up for a few years
and I have just gotten used to using the tack.  That system works fine for me
in 4th gear where I know my speed exactly, but I'm totally lost in the other 3
gears.

Well I just went and checked on what my speedo gear was made out of.The answer
is(drumroll please) Nylon!.It is a near white transluscent color that may have
been dyed somewhat grey/brown due to long exposure to gear lube.Spray cleaning
made no real difference in the color.There is also a metal ring that mostly
surrounds the base of the gear.It has 15 teeth. It is out of a Mk 1a with the
toploader Ford tranny.
Happy Tiggering!
Tony
