Re: Speedo advice needed
Just do it yourself, but instead of prying the needles off heat them up with a soldering iron to melt them off. No pressure on the delicate stems then. I tried buying from Unicorn but FedEx lost my package and screwed me out of 300€.
It's faster to break than to repair.

Re: Speedo advice needed
Whilst on the topic, I have also replicated the speedo baseplate and decals. Not 100% OEM but as close as I could get.

Mitsubishi Shogun... Speedo needles cheaper than and easier to find ...
Speak to Johnr he's done loads of them ...
You have to prise the rim off to do the needles ...use abutter knive to shape it back and touch up with satin black model paint.

Re: Speedo advice needed
Being a tight arse, I made mine from clear plastic from a cassette case, took my time to separate the needle from the centre, painted the underside of the needle in a close shade of orange/red modelling paint and glued them in position.
Probably 15+ years ago, not original but work fine for me!!!! Lol

Re: Speedo advice needed
Have a look on Webike Japan, a pair of needles for about £30. Look really good quality.
Obviously import duties to add but still bloody good value
