Dear friends ,
Are those gears 1:1 ?
Do they change direction ?
I build a new garage and can not find mine.
Thanks

It is an angle drive for your speedometer cable. Looks like the newer model size. You can tell for sure by the diameter on the nut of the cable. If it is the newer smaller size you might want to find it. Ain't cheap. The older larger size, I think 17 mm can screw directly into the transmission because the drive is 1 to 1 if you're missing the drive.
Good Luck....

The angle drives come in Veglia and VDO depending on your cable style and in both 1:1 and 1:1.1 based upon whether you have a Euro KPH or Imperial MPH speedometer.

The Euro version is the 1:1.1 I think, at least that's what I removed from my car, it was a Euro import in KPH.
I still have it somewhere.
No it does not change direction of rotation for the cable.

I don't know if the difference is KMH vs. MPH per se, but definitely there was a change in late '72 that went from 1200 revolutions per mile to 1600 revolutions per mile. Your speedo may be marked on the back to show which speedo drive is needed.
