great video mate, I've cut the rings off a set of my clocks a few years ago and never rebuilt them because I can't find anyone who supplies the rings, any idea where I can get some please?
There is a company called CB750FACES.COM they do sell the crimp ring, but they are quite awkward to crimp because the metal is slightly thicker, but it can be done ✔️
Yeah I saw them after I watched your video last night. Are the supplied rings totally flat so you’ve to crimp both sides of the ring by pressing them or is one of the edges (visible edge) already at the right angle?
Bloody marvellous idea. Question- if you had 2 clamps :1 for speedos and 1 for tachos , then you wouldn’t need to keep moving that cut-out around- would you? In any case that’s a really sharp tip. Thanks.
Yeah got it, thanks. It was tight as hell, it had loctite on the thread. I ended up heating it gently by touching a soldering iron to the shaft away from the plastic and it came free. Cheers mate.
Fantastic instructional, Peter!
Many thanks!
Brilliant thanks
Great video, Very helpful. I have an A & need to change the face from MPH to KPH. I will try the image works, see if they have the faces.
Hi Mark
I'm pretty sure they do have KPH faces 👍
Super job Pete
Great Job, I will be adopting this method next time, much better than cutting the ring off.
Cutting the ring off !
@@suzukigt750idiot Yes, I see someone do it like that on TH-cam, I've always done it the way you do, but without the jubilee clip.

Correct but I'm tight 😂
How'd you get the trip meter knob out of the speedo to remove the mechanism from the face mate?
@jamesward2207 it's a reverse thread so when you turn it to screw it in its actually undoing it 👍

This is awesome
do you have a source for replacement faces? mine are faded thanks
Image works sell them 👌
@@suzukigt750idiot thank you
