Back home again, and with snow mostly gone, it was time to start swapping out snow tires. I got two vehicles done, and then decided to do some sit-down work. Since I rebuilt the speedometer--and cleaned the glass--the other gauges have bothered me. So I yanked the tach.

Unlike the speedo, the tach had never been opened, and it took some time to work around the retaining ring and slowly pry open the flange.

All cleaned and back together. Yes, the rim paint needs some touch-up.

Back in place, and looks good. Now the left gauge needs cleaning. Maybe tomorrow.

I removed the left gauge. I hope somebody took a picture showing where these wires go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Not as bad as the tach glass, but still dirty.

Thanks. Once I got over the idea of opening the bezel ring, it was pretty simple.

I got some vinyl caps, designed for 2.5 inch fence posts.

Strainer and cover installed--and I made sure it was seated evenly.

And the drain plug, too. Maybe this time it will not leak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
