YJ speedo and snaps.. arg
 

Finally getting around to fixing all the little things on my 89 SOA YJ that
have been bugging me. Got the winch motor rebuilt (twice!) and installed,
got my CB installed, ect. Last two on my list for now..

Speedometer- I installed a Tom Wood SYE kit per the instructions. The speedo
never worked after that. I tried rotating the adjuster 90 degrees where the
cable goes into the t-case. No luck. What tooth count gear do I need for for
4.10's turning 33's? How do I properly install it so it actually *works*?

The soft top snaps behind the windshield running on the black bars that run
paralell to the roll bars off the windshield, above the doors. The soft top
snaps to these rails by 5(?) snaps. The snaps don't seem so "snappy"
anymore. They are difficult to get together.. I basically have to smack them
with the heel of my hand. After I get them together, they seperate easily,
causing a pretty irritating noise. There is some mud on them, I tried
cleaning it out and it didn't help. I'm considering gorilla glueing these..

Thanks,

Carl

When you have the speedo gear off and in your hand, you should see numbers
around the edge of the housing. These numbers correspond to the number of
teeth on the gear. There is an arrow on the transfer case that you align the
appropriate number too.

Have you considered putting oil on the snaps?
