Installation of Cali Sport Shield

Bought a Cali Sport Shield on eBay, new in the box. In the installation kit was a knurled knob that I cannot figure out. My guess is it MIGHT be somehow related to the odometer reset. I noticed that the little black knob for the odo reset is now really hard to get to with the shield installed.

My first thought was to remove the odo reset and put this knurled ring thing into the hole. That didn't do anything. It doesn't make contact with anything inside the speedo (and reinserting the odo reset knob was exciting...I was beginning to think I'd never find where it screwed in, inside the speedo.

In any event, here's a picture. Any thoughts?

First time I've ever seen anything like that. No idea, but if you really think it's for the odo knob, does the black end come off easy enough (without destroying it) to allow the knurled knob to fit on?
 
Thought about that, Todd. Tried to pull it off gently, and no dice. It's weird that there were zero instructions. Thanks for the thought.
 
My pleasure. Is the knurled knob threaded internally? I've owned and installed several of the Sport shields, and never once have I ever seen anything like this.
No instructions is very common amongst most all parts from Italia. :pinch:
 
First thing I checked was for threads. None. Interestingly, if look down the internal shaft, it appears the base (inside) has a hex shape. Hmmmm. And, it does slide over the shaft for the odo reset.
