        Honestly after Paypal fees, shipping, answering PMs and managing who gets what, the profit margin is very fair and if they can really provide Motometer gears for the same price I will be all over them.

        I would agree if the price was $40+ a set but $15 leaves room for an honest profit and benefits all those who want to fix their odometers without breaking their budgets.

          I received my 10 sets, thank you for bringing to the community. Disregard the typical r3v static, I guess people thinks its unreasonable for you to spend the time to find the source, buy in bulk and cut the market price by more then 50%.

          Yet we wonder why less products are offered for sale...

          Thanks again.

            There be some cheap mother effers in the community... Waiting on my sets, I figured someone like Levent would have dried up the first batch with no remorse. :p

                I seriously bought mine right before the OP for $22. Really, $5 isn't a big deal.

                The only problem I have is that I couldn't get the bushing off for the small gear. It seems to be pressed on. Any insight on the best way of getting it off?

                  if you pinch the copper bushing with some wire strippers or similar, it will pull off - just use caution.

                        I have posted elsewhere but anyone who has a instrument cluster apart, can you measure the thickness of the tachometer face plate and the actual diameter, please.

                              I just ordered a set for my VDO Gauges. Any word on how long the back order is?

                              I used wire cutters and pinched it hard enough to cut/crack the bushing off the shaft. Grip real hard and it should "pop".
