A lapse in concentration...
« on: 10 November 2011, 21:54 »
Yesterday I took my speedo cluster apart to repaint my needles as the paint was cracking. It was a bit cold in the garage, so to speed the paint drying a bit I cracked out my heater gun. I realise that the heat these produce is a bit much, but I was only waving it a little.
However I let my mind wander a second, just long enough to heat the speedo needle enough to droop. So I now have a droopy needle on my speedo. Bugger! :rolleyes:

I guess I'll have to stick a request in the classifieds, as more people look here, does anyone have any spares so I could get a replacement needle? I've got a motometer (I think) cluster?

Cheers

Just the needle? I've got a load of spares somewhere which I have no use for, PM me your address and I'll have a look tomorrow. If I find one I'll stick it in the post to you :wink:

Here we have one non-droopy needle :laugh:



It's been painted red though so you'll need to paint it again :wink:

I'll drop it in the post in the morning :smiley:
