Papanick still in business?
I found papa nick in the swap meet section that he rebuilds speedometers. Sent him mine and get it back in a timely manner but it sat until I finished my rebuild on my 31tudorr. When I first drove it was off 9mph based on my gps. I have emailed him several times without a response.
Does anyone know if he is still in business? |

Looks like he hasn't posted in about a month.

Is it possible that you have the wrong gear on the drive shaft?

You didn't say whether your speedo was reading high or low so I can't say whether you need more or less teeth on the drive gear. If it is reading slow, you need 2 less teeth. If it is reading fast, 2 less. If you change the gear, be careful to put the new one on facing the same way as the old one was.

Re: Papanick still in business?
Changing the gear is a good idea as mentioned above. On a measured course my speedometer was 5.4% low with a 19 tooth gear. I purchased an 18 tooth gear from one of the vendors and now my speedometer/odometer is spot-on. Rationale is that with one less gear a full revolution is a little faster. Since yours is 9% off a two gear change should make it perfect or almost perfect. The repair is easy, just two bolts. When ordering the gear also order the gasket and lube the gear when installing. Good luck! G.D.

Re: Papanick still in business?
GPS has a significant error. Try driving past a radar speed sign in a school zone.

Re: Papanick still in business?
Both GPS and radar need a constant speed over a significant period of time to be accurate.

Re: Papanick still in business?
I agree. Put two in the same car and you’ll see that they usually will disagree with one another ! At best It’s a guesstimate.

Re: Papanick still in business?
The comment about radar needing a significant period of time to register is wrong.
