The speedometer needle in my 73 dart has broken off the long end. Is it possible to replace the needle and who sells the needle?

Thanks!
 
I've made a few out of scrap aluminum slivers and glued them on. I don't know any source for new ones. Maybe check with Instrument Specialties or Gcar to see if they make one.
 
I’m pretty sure I have a spare needle in the barn if you are interested?

Thanks Jim. I went with Cudamark's suggestion and epoxied an 18 gauge aluminum wire where it broke off and painted it bright orange. Looks pretty good and you probably wouldn't notice it.
 
If the needle weight is altered the instrument may need adjustment. Good luck with it.
