Instrument brackets UK v USA on a 500?

<< < (2/2)

Oddjob:
Have you tried slowly rotating the rubber doughnut, I say that because the 550F I'm currently fitting those into. will fit in more places than it first appears, you think it's right and it looks right but go a little further round and it looks and fits better.

Been a while since I did some genuine 500 clocks as I got rid of mine on both my 500s, much prefer the larger clocks like the 500K2 got.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Unlike my 400 rubbers Ken that had various cut outs these just have one section where an angle of around 100 deg has a reduced width/depth corresponding to the missing metal  it makes sense in that where there is narrow metal there is narrower rubber section still enough to give a full cushion.
DS genuine part in Honda Packaging 37412-319-000 at great expense as the old ones were reduced to crumbling sponges.

Is it worth burning a hole in the cushion to correspond with the drain hole?

Oddjob:
Should be 37242 not 31412 Ted, did you just write the number down wrong?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My eye sight is still distorted Ken, yes it's 37242-319-000 well spotted.
Follow up appointment tomorrow - am thinking I might need my eye testing again - could just be the swelling it's still as sore as a badgers bum.
