LOL! ;D ;D ;D ;D But one clock was one way, the other another. Maybe you mean they were for the equatorial market?

There is a guy down in Kent that does rebuild these units and buys the crimp rings in batches.
Pete Horton you can PM him on here or email him Peterhortongauges@gmail.com.

Many thanks.
I've made a note about Peter Horton, and also CB750 Faces.
TBH, I'm not attempting to build an immaculate show condition bike.
My bikes tend to get ridden all year round, I use them to commute to work as well as touring/camping trips.
So if I spend lots of money building something that looks brand new, it soon ends up looking used again.
One thing I draw a line at is riding in freezing cold weather.
Road salt is the kiss of death for old Japanese bikes.
Imagine a 750 Four after about five years of well maintained use - that's what I aim for.
I'm paying around £25 to £40 for a used guage, sometimes less if they are damaged or have been dismantled by someone with more enthusiasm than skill.
It's a sort of scattergun approach.
If I buy enough gauges, I should always have enough bits to build a decent looking set.

I think Marcel (CB750Faces) has retired.
