Trip meter knob needed

Post by Coyote »

for a mid 70's GT550 gauge set. Also need the little screw that retains the knob.

I'd buy a new one, but it has no part number.

Thanks. The one Paul Miller has is for the J/K models. I don't know if it would fit a M model. Someone with a early model would have to chime in. The shaft in mine is 1,5mm and has a single flat. I know the gauges changed changed beginning with the L model. Flasher and high beam lights were removed from the tach and moved to the main panel. I don't know if anything else physically changed. I don't have a J or K speedo to compare it to. Beginning with the L model, the knob has no part number.

I contacted Paul Miller. He said no fit - totally different.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Thanks Alan, but that is the part number that won't fit. J and K only. Will not fit the M model. The problem is, after the K model the knob has no part number.

c'mon guys. No one has a junk speedo laying around with a knob on it?. Must be 74-76 380 or 550.
