I've seen the old threads on removing the gauge bezels for glass cleaning and gauge repair. I tried this on my combo gauge and buggered the bezel, although it is still usable. I was wondering if there is an updated technique.
Also, are these bezels available anywhere for sale? I already checked with Palo Alto Speedometer. |

@Retrorace Tony thank you. If you have not noticed I have a problem with tools and over engineering solutions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) To me it is just right.
Version 2.0 I will use a DC lathe motor and spindle to drive it at slow speeds, one lets thing to have to do. LOL. Thinking about it, I might just build a tool for the lathe, chuck it up, and use the tailstock to apply the pressure keeping everything centered and seated, and add the wheel to tool post . Then I could do it via CNC. Version 4, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) see that's how my brain works, and why I redo everything several times. |
