    i've already discussed why i don't use ebay or other cheap sources - i'm not going to beat a dead horse. if you need to save $10 that badly then feel free to buy the inferior product and spend your install time.

      lol. I know it's all relative but at $40 you really can't break Mike's balls for providing this service. It's not like he's getting rich off of this.

          pretty sure small plastic gears are universally shit mate, lol you sound like your trying to sell the gears calling them 'premium gears' lmfao

          sorry to say but the ebay specials are made out of the same shit that dear mikes ones are

          they are made out of acetal plastic, nothing special

          just a good type of plastic that eliminates the need for lubrication and is used in alot of componentry,

          that and doing it yourself isnt hard and you gain knowledge about your speedo.

                odometergears.com are inferior to the other alternate shit ones out there. and i was simply stating that the price he is charging is very cheap, you can't go wrong. of course you can still do it yourself, just bare in mind that you might run into a problem whereas mike has installed so many, he can get these things installed within 10min without failure or issues. no need to argue about that.
