    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.

Unsteady needles on Clocks

Hi folks,

Does anyone have a fix for me on this issue. The needles will hold steady up to a about 4000 rpm where after it starts jumping around. I have replaced both speedo and rpm cables and they are properly fitted and tightened. My guess it is the mechanisms inside the clocks that are faulty.( the worm drives in the head and wheel is also OK)

Thanks,
Danie
 
Before you start pulling your clocks apart test them using an electric drill in reverse and a short length of the old inner cable to drive.
 
I have lubed the insides. Heres what to do. Take a drill and a 1/4 inch drill bit and GENTLY drill a hole on top of the white housing just ahead of the nipple the cable screws onto. Drilling with a shop vac hose near to suck up shavings is a good idea too.

Once youve breached the housing you can lube the axles. Qtip and some white grease is what i did. I used some black RTV and made a puddle over the drill hole to seal them up.
