I have just changed my own tachometer cushion , the original was so perished it had gone brittle and was breaking up, and I'm about to change the less effect speedometer one too. I don't understand what you mean about the sponge though, I only see rubber, am I missing something?
The old ones lasted for almost half a century, when the new ones do the same, what's the problem?
Ted, it's always the bits you don't see during the initial inspection and strip down stages that end up costing as much money as the parts you know need replacing! This is especially true of the small parts. I had to replace the kickstart knuckle on my 400/4 rebuild. It took months to find an undamaged item, cost £80 and needed a rechrome.
It’s only money, Ted. I know exactly how much I’ve spent provided I purposely don’t recall the odd £20, £15, £25, £55, ……get the picture
