Speedo Needle Broke today

[Sbolt19]

They say things happen in 3s, so #1 was my gas tank crack a couple of weeks ago and today #2 happened. My speedo needle broke, and my EB is my daily driver. I don't remember if the gauge cluster is easily rebuildable, so I gotta take it apart to find out. Anyone know off hand if it is an easy fix or not? I am not looking forward to #3.

The guage cluster comes apart wether its a easy fix or not depends on what happened. But I have very carefully pulled the needle off the speedo head before to repaint it and replaced it.

The needle broke at the base from the looks of it. It just kind of "fell off" as I was speeding up.
