Hi Guys
While there was nothing really cosmetically wrong with my gauges, the tach wasn't functioning properly. It was very slow to respond.

before

I found out about Don on here and quickly got in touch with him. bikenut7172@aol.com He was very fast to respond and completed the job in a week.

I debated with myself if I should get just the tach done or both of them. I figured if the tach came back and looked like new then even though my speedo was in great shape, it would bug me that they were not the same. I'm glad I had them both done. Shipping wasn't anymore expensive for sending both in.

At $110 a gauge, I think that was a good deal.

installed

Very pleased with the results, Thanks Don

Considering there is no one that I know of in Canada doing this kind of work, I was lucky to find him.

Dang .... my jewels are in rough shape

Don did my H2 clocks - incredible craftsmanship.

It's an age thing Gary - we all have the same problem.

Kidding aside, take the jewels out and polish them (both sides) with Brasso and a very soft cloth. You will be amazed at the transformation.

That's at least half what you might pay for one NOS gauge on eBay. Very nice! :thumbup:
