NipponDenso speedometer reset knob for 900 SSD

Post by gioto3 »

I'm searching for a reset knob that is missing in my speedometer.
I know that Steven sells the one for Smiths speedometer, mounted on 900 SS http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=399
but the NipponDenso one is different, it seems to me it should have a 3 mm left-handed female thread at the end to connect with the speedometer.
I'll grateful for any suggestion or pics of this item, maybe I can try to build one.
Thanks in advance

Thanks to the members that PMed me for help.
Just for future reference I fixed that.
I got a reset knob from a different NipponDenso speedometer, but the attach was different.
I just needed to cut to the correct measure the brass shaft of the new reset knob, and than make a left handed M3 thread at the end of the shaft. I also needed to build a little LH M3 cylinder for the connection to the speedo shaft.
All is working now :-D
