Getting lost in the details again …. everything touched up and ready for reassembly after everything has dried completely. Minor wrinkle finish applied to inner speedo and tach bezels by spraying light coats of wrinkle paint (to cover minor rust pitting).

You look at those gauges a lot, so that's an important detail.  Nice work.

Have you seen any of the restorations at mat.fi? 

They rebuild and repaint the original gauges, just like that.

Together …. made new seals/gaskets out of window screen spline material super glued into an o -ring (saw this on a Triumph forum) instead of using sealant, their only purpose is to keep the glass from rattling really, as the gauges are open in other areas …..
