Speedo needle in my MK

I've just bought myself an old MK, and noticed that the speedo wasn't quite accurate..
upon closer inspection, i discovered that the needle is bent downwards (pressing against the backing) and therefore sticking...
is there any way this can be fixed??

you could even straighten the needle if you wanted to using a light amount of heat but obviously take it out of the cluster first

The bloke who had mine b4 me used to bend it out for few days then itd be right for a few months. Not worth the hassle i reckon thats why i cut it.
