I have heard stories of people drilling a tiny hole and using a bent bit of wire to flick it back to zero.
As wickedteen says the dancing neadles are caused by a battery on its last legs or a battery with insufficient ampage for the scorp.

I wouldnt drill a hole, the dash comes off fairly easily and there are four screws holding the clear plastic panel to the front of the instrument cluster.
Unscrew these and gently move the needle back
