Looks like a really nice bike. I have a gauge restoration guide that I can email that is specific to the 400 four gauges, it's fair to say that removal and re-fitting the band defeats many. The guide will at least give an idea of what's involved and if the task is within you capabilities.
i did mine and its not too difficult just takes ages to uncrimp, tip when recrimping you need an arc (same dia as the clock) of aluminum to spread the load and prevent marks when crimping I learn't this after i did mine. so i ahve some marks on the band but they look better for the refurb.Managed to get replacement fasteners from a local fastener suppliers, i had to retap the face to accept but worked well.Attached are some before and after,
That's a lovely job, I am hoping mine will be as good! Can I ask what kind of paint you used on the housing?
