Title: Restored and re faced the Gauges on the CB400f
Post by: ozzybud on January 11, 2024, 09:33:13 PM
I just finished the Gauges on the CB400F. Thanks to Tips and tricks from this forum i managed to get it done without destroying anything . The Trip arm and Boot was my worry at first. They came out great!

Well done - I'm to hand fisted for that sort of delicate work so use KENT400 I know my limitations.

When I tried to put a new battery in a ladies wrist watch the hands fell off. ;D ;D ;D

They look good!  I've been wanting to do this but have been reluctant concerning the uncrimping/recrimping of the rings.

Nice work on the gauges Ozzy, we are fortunate to have a dab hand at the gauges on here.

I can share the simple jig that i built from wood/plastic and the tools that i use  that work well for me if you like?.

i have 2 different setups one for the smaller gauges and one for the large.

The Trip Knob on the CB400's are a little tricky . the method i use you can get it off with ease.
