Re: Speedometer Questions

Here are a couple of pictures showing how the electricals were (barely) attached to the Speedometer Case Back.
The next show how I got the speedometer placed so the light oil - Vacuum Pump Oil to be exact - could seep down through the bushing/bearings which would seize up after use because of petrified lubricant.
Next step is to lube the worm gears with lubriplate (thanks again Howard) and put it all back together - this time with the electricals firmly attached. The first Speedometer over glass photo shows (barely) how I got the new oil to sit in the back piece of the speedometer and seep through the bushing.
More later - though the test drive probably won't happen until tomorrow.
