Hi All
I have a closed drive shaft for a 1940 rear-end. I'm looking to find a new gear for the speed-o-meter. I don't know how you would call it but it is for the little aluminum part that is on the tube.
Thanks

It's called a turtle and with standard rear 3.78 gears it has 19 teeth. A 3.54 rear will have 18 teeth, 4.11 will have 21 teeth.
