Nov 15, 2008: New Speedometer to Bucket Gasket

Here is the first attempt at replacing the speedometer to trim ring gasket on Barney. It was to big, hence the trim ring didn't fit and it was next to impossible to get the snaps inside the bucket to snap into position to hold the speedometer in place.

So off with that one.

This is the newest gasket.
new gasket fits on nicely

A much better fit on the speedometer.

Now to put the trim ring on.

And here it goes...

It fits!

No trimming needed, a perfect fit.

Now an inside view.
speedometer snaps nicely into bucket

both snaps easily go into the correct position, holding the speedometer in.

Nice.

Great job David (aka outersketcher@yahoo.com) for a job well done. If you want one, see David at the Yahoo CT90 (and other) groups :-)
