options for fixing broken odometer gear? (it's not the one KLA sells)
One of the other odometer gears is missing some teeth. Unfortunately, in one spot two successive teeth are missing, so the odo doesn't turn. It's actually the gear that is adjacent to the gear that some places sell replacements for. Trying to figure out how to solve this. Bought some epoxy and am trying to build up new teeth by layering. This might work short term but I'd like to figure out a long-term solution. Does anybody sell replacements for the other odometer gears? Was also thinking about finding a shop to create a new one from a CAD model. Has anybody tried this? Looking for ideas...

If they don't want to make one or it is too expensive, I too have an extra working speedo/odo. It has 61k on it.

Thanks for the offer, Patrat. I will take you up on it if I don't have any luck with the website. I'd rather not keep a spare gauge unit lying around, otherwise I'd hit fleabay.
