    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lubrication in spedometers

I decided to cut open my guages and clean them out the other day, and it has done wonders for them! The only thing is, all of the moving parts inside the guage are now only lubricated with WD40. I know this won't last forever, and that I need to put something else on them. What has everyone else used to lubricate the little gears and moving parts inside the guages?

PS, I haven't glued the body back together yet, I just taped it together so i could go on a test run.
 
I don't think and lube is needed. A small dab of lithium on the gears maybe? And then only if the unit is completely seal-able.
Any lube on the rotating bits for the needles might cause lag or inaccuracy.
 
Hi,

Some silicone lubricant spray would work just fine, not be too messy, and last for quite a while. So be careful not to squirt anything else.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
