Shift selector needle> on gauge cluster repair

So I was bored today an want to fix my needle on my gauge cluster. So I got to thinking how I was going to do that? I started looking in the the kitchen for some thing that would work...... Well I had found some tooth picks. I used the ends of the tooth pick. To fix my shift selector needle. Looks like nothing happen good as new again. Be careful an steady with the hand. I know this is a small repair just thought,I would share my repair with u all. Great forum. I'm not the greatest writer either. Sorry.

Materials.....
Drill
1/16" bit
red paint
Tooth pick
Brush
Nail clippers
Tweezers
..............................

It's usually the little cable that breaks. Like mine.

That's what got to do. I broke my needle when replacing my gauge lights. Good idea
