Still trying to get the hands off the type 3 clock face...........

Need to re-work face to the same black face as the other two gauges....

Image

Unless someone has a black face clock for me to match the other two gauges??? (above)

These seem to be the last, late model type 3 gauges > ?? (don't know??)

You could always fit something more useful than a clock in there... Looks like a 80mm revcounter will fit in there?
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

You right !!!

Would like a split gauge, with temp, and tacho. or even temp. and oil press. But can not find one to match.

That would work ?????

Packed a small brown paper bag today with a few sammies, and a bottle of choco milk.

Went at visiting hour to the Spray Shop....

Sat next to Fasty, thinking of what could have been... :cry:

The "warden" come over and said that the 1st rehabilitation coat will be introduced "this Week Coming"....

And " ...This takes Time"..... :shock:

Went home without the Fastback again......

Doing time is a Bit#h........ :roll:

Till later...
