I plan on running a speedo/dash on the '49FL I'm building. Of course there wasn't a speedo drive gear on the counter shaft.
Had to tear the tranny apart again. The new speedo drive gear I got slipped right onto the countershaft. I spent hours last night searching what needs to be done to keep this thing on. Some people are suggesting tack welding it on......others using green loctite........Bruce Palmer suggests staking/peening it on.
Anyone have an opinion on it?
Right now I'm leaning towards chucking it up in a lathe (to check runout) and tacking it with the tig in multiple places......checking runout as I go.
