Need help finding gauge needle

Does anybody know where to find a speedometer needle. I just finished pulling out the cluster to fix the fuel gauge and speedometer. The dang speedometer needle is broken off of the gauge face and in three pieces. Is it even possible to fix .

Just get a piece of straw from a broom and glue it on to the gauge. You can go the extra mile and spray paint it orange for that concours look of originality. That's what I found on my speedometer -- minus the paint!

Long66, You might want to try Googling "clock parts." You will find what you want there, or, alternatively, just find any old gauge at a flea market and tear it up.

Update. With lots of patience and a steady hand I was able to jb weld the speedo needle pieces back together. Now I have a working speedometer.
