Re: Describe thumb nut size and thread on speedo s
I used the wire wheel brush attachment on my dremel to clean up the threads since getting all around the studs with the grinder wire wheel looked to be 'iffy'.
Edit: Actually that was on the smaller gauges .. probably could use the bench wire wheel on the speedo and tach.
Cheers,
John

Re: Describe thumb nut size and thread on speedo s
Yeah, the Dremel wire wheel brush cleaned up my
entire group of dash gauges.
Want to post pics, but my computer went on the fritz and
I'm trying to get the data or repair her. She is being
operated on now (by me of course, because any other way
just wouldn't pay, and her prognosis is less than fair
to guarded.
Wish me luck on computer file retrival...asked for help
at the bar after I ordered a strong whiskey.

Re: Describe thumb nut size and thread on speedo s
When I had my speedo overhauled at Nisonger, I asked that he send me all nut thumbnuts, which kindly obliged. Ya ain't gonna find those anywhere 'cept a gauge shop. You won't know how long I looked....

Re: Describe thumb nut size and thread on speedo s
I appreciate your comments, there, Bill. I just got
stubborn about not changing anything and finding the
darned nuts that fit. I was so curious -- and thought
I'd have something to offer the forum.
Turns out a nice lady from Mo Ma says for $5 she'll send
me a couple. Probably could discern I was about to cry...
Sent the dough.... awaiting their arrival.
