Where to find speedometer gear?

Post by zz28zz »

Started digging into why the speedo isn't working on my 87 Elite SE50P. Pulled the plastic gear out of the front hub and it's worn pretty badly. Not having much luck finding a replacement.

I did find this:

Kinda steep for a plastic gear at $25, but may be the only option. Anyone know of a source for these or used one from the posted link?

I did see a few used front hubs but figured the plastic gear was probably already worn on those. BTW, I'm in the US.

How many miles are these plastic gears supposed to be good for? My odometer is showing ~1400 miles.

There is NO specific life expectancy for the gear.

Tried to order a gear from the site I posted and got an error. Sent email, no reply. Guess that's not an option.

Wonder if a 3D printed one (W/ABS) would survive very long..
