So I have a 930 Tach, and every time you rolled it around it would rattle. I figured that someone dropped a bulb in it, but before I did something with itI needed to find out why it rattled so.
So let the autopsy begin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) 930 Tach - so what makes these so damn expensive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That little 1 bar boost gauge hosed in the face. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  Tools of the trade - custom made for this job.  Opens gauge bezels like a can opener.  Just work your way around, at least 3/4 of the way. All opened up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)   Flip it over remove three screws and one nut.  And removed from the can  More Detail just for you Tim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)      Interior of the can  And now what was rattling around inside the tach. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)  I was right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Can't wait to see what happens to this now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Just ordered the film thank you Bob for the suggestion. Will give it a try and se how it does. Bob and I have exchanged several e-mails and we will give his method a try. As Bob says "Been dicking with this stuff since 1974" I'll (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) sage wisdom. The thread that made me reach out to Bob can be found here
First Project per Mark's request a 911 fuel gauge in a 914 Tach, nice and flat, and should put it to a good test.  I can add more hash marks or ticks in-between the numbers to make it closer to the Porsche / VDO tach of the time period. Not bad for a few minutes and not using a scanned face. That will be next, when day light is not burning. Ran a test print, I'll add it to a piece of AL and cut it out and see if all the stuff is in the right spots adjust and finish the design up. then off to get them cut, with a bunch of other items. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) So yes Tim you will be getting a shipment soon. |
