So I was able to source another cluster for my '66 Dart - the bad news is the plastic rivet that holds the spring bracket in place has disintegrated. The spring bracket spins freely and the needle bent. I can straighten the needle, but is it possible to source a replacement plastic rivet and fix this myself?

Probably not, and the speedo is surely due for a new bearing, too.

Thanks for the recommendation, just trying to find a way to the "good+cheap" side of that triangle instead of the "good+easy" option of sending it to a rebuilder.

In case anyone is following along: I have found that this rivet thing is called an "upper jewel", but I have not found anyone willing to sell them on their own! But I have found a speedometer that should be in better shape.
