He seems to care less than I do. Loves cows and children. Wheels= I can call it a motorcycle now. 3
Pressureangle Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Small progress. Everything I touched needed cleaning, new fasteners, repairs, bulbs... Tomorrow, fix the per-usual detached tach stud. 2
docc Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I recall reinforcing those attachment points with JB Weld. edit: I looked for an image, but settled for pulling my instruments out of the cabinet to look. Yep, JB Weld to secure the mounting posts to the cans, plus JB Weld to reinforce the fragile plastic collar beneath the light connectors. 2

'Light connectors'- do you mean the tach connectors? The lamp connectors are on the sockets. BTW who has the cross number for the bulbs?

Heelers get a genetic deterioration of the retina, and the toxins from debris actually cause the cataracts. He was completely night blind and couldn't catch a frisbee anymore in the daytime before the cataracts showed up. She said we could remove them, but she was not optimistic that it would improve anything. 2 2
Pressureangle Posted November 4 Author Posted November 4 ...aaand the new front tire is flat. Hadn't rolled it around any... thought it was the o-ring at the base of the valve stem but actually turned out to be that the stem itself, these lightweight aluminum marvels of ancient Roman wisdom, had split vertically up the side. Difficult to see, but the bubbles prove. I had a set of 90* valve stems that were too short to fit into the '85 LM rims, but was a nice fit here. Rear rim at next tire change, or first flat. 3
Tomchri Posted November 4 Posted November 4 SOON ready. Nice, EVERYTHING sorted. Shoud be cleared for some km . Cheers Tom. 2
