Speedo

[GAR64]

I replaced the ugly dash panel in my 29 Tudor. Looks great and everything worked for a few days. Now the speedometer has stopped working. Seems that when reconnected the cable, it may not have threded on as far as it was originally. I took it apart again to look at it. The little pin or gear shaft falls out of the cable. Is it supposed to be fixed?? To me it seems that maybe it isn't going all the way in to the cable side when I thread on the nut and isn't seating all the way in. Also, it just doesn't seem to thread on as far as it should. Lot of threads there but I can only thread on about 2 revs. Any ideas?? I really don't want to replace the whole cable unless necessary.
