You might look for some 215/70R15 take offs at a tire dealer, new or used. Another option might be to put a new tube in the flat tire, if it is not blown out.

Many post war cars and some pre-war ones may require drilling holes in the splash apron. Measure carefully.

You might be able to get the brass plug out with a sharp ice pick. Be very careful working with the speedometer. Too much lubricant can do a lot of harm.
Any loose rust particles will get stuck on the magnets and cause trouble. I would not use compressed air on a speedometer. A light, non-gumming oil is best.

Thanks Bob! I will give that a go!
Follow on question. So drilling out that brass cap will not damage the speedo? that is the area the sound is coming from so it makes sense.

A whirring noise sounds like dry bushings in the mechanism. It is not hard to open up and get some light oil into it. I sprayed mine down first with brake cleaner, used compressed air to blow it dry and blast away decades of dirt, and then using toothpicks carefully dripped oil into all moving shafts/gears. Be sure not to knock the centre plate askew and incur the needle shaft to rub on the central hole. You can also drill out the brass cap as Big Kev did to oil the felt inside that bore too. His image describing that location is below.
With the speedometer head off you can also pull the shaft/cable and give it a good cleaning and spread some lithium grease on it before sliding it back in. Bob J Attach file:  Oiling hole.jpg (164.92 KB)

My Speedometer started making a "whirling" noise. I replaced the speedo Cable, and it continues. I assume it is the gears or the magnet. I have taken it apart as far as I can. Has anybody experienced this, if yes. Could you let me know what you did to correct? Does anybody know a good Speedo "fixer" that specializes in Antiques or better yet Packards?
Thoughts appreciated! Ben

I know this for a Dodge but I think this is the adjustment Gary was talking about "You can also tighten up the steering tubes".
Hope this helps.
