I found a nice speedometer hole plug if you're running a GPS speedo

[tonytheplumber]

For those of us running a GPS speedo and wanting a clean way to plug the existing speedometer gear opening in the tail housing of the Dana 20, or for those of us, like myself, who bought a project truck which was devoid of any speedometer gear housing whatsoever, I found this on Ebay. The seller is a gentleman out of CA who has these manufactured locally for NP 205s. Its just so happens they are the same dimension for a Dana 20. He did not know if it would work so I bought one with the understanding he would accept a return if it did not fit. I did not take any pics prior to installation, but the plug is about 5/8" long and has a ridge that also fits nicely into the machined recess on the face of the tail housing. I applied a small bead of sealant around it and slipped it into place.
If you happen to want one for the price of $26 delivered to your door go on eBay and search "NP 205 speedo plug". The guy's name his Tod and his cell phone number is listed in the "description" in the listing in case you have any questions.

There is an actual Ford part used as well. It's plastic, o-ring sealed. I think I got one off a 2WD v8 explorer.

That's slick looking Tony. Thanks for posting up.
Be interested in seeing the Ford part sometime too though. But I sure like the aluminum look. (even under the truck where nobody will see it)

Ordered. Funny, I was literally looking for this delete this morning.

I did run across a plastic Ford piece as well but not knowing what would fit and what wouldn't I didn't want to take a chance on it. I've bought enough parts that I will not be using

It's the least I can do to make a contribution to this site. The knowledge I've gained and the questions of mine that have been answered on here is invaluable.

Nice!

So there is something better than a trimmed down champagne cork.

Well, the cork would likely be self sealing (no silicone or o-ring needed) and the tree huggers would love your re-purposing idea

Tod Gordon is a great guy, if you ever need anything NP205, he is your guy.
NP205s are his specialty.
