Hi,
First, I am suffereing from name confusion, is it Frank or Mike? Frank, I think.
Anyway, thanks for this, I bet your contact with Dave Woods will pay off in getting to the bottom of my question, though, others, please still chime in. As it turns out, the dial face is fine. The problem is that the mechanism itself wants CCW at its input and the speedo gears at our transmissions want to deliver clockwise. I would greatly appreciate your putting this question forward with Dave Woods so I can learn if there is a "simple" fix. ("Simple" in quotes because, even if the mechanisms intended input rotation can be changed with existing parts, the work is going to be exacting and maticulous.)
If it would be easier for you and your workmate, I could contact Dave directly, if I was forwarded his contact information, that is, unless he is a recluse or adverse to giving away free information.
Thanks, again.
Richard L.
