I will be buying another set of faces for a k1 as the other ones I bought were excellent.

Thanks.
I fill the dampers with silicone oil with a viscosity of 50,000. That's often used to fill the diffs of RC cars. I use a syringe with a 1.2mm needle which I shortened to about 1cm. So noting secret about this ;)
Be very careful when you refill the damper pot. It's easier to damage the fragile parts than repairing those.
Green1:
Do you fill the damper pot to the top
Cheers

No, a few mm under the top. When you put the cylinder back into the pot, the oil must stay in the pot. If it comes out of the pot, pull the cylinder out, remove the overflowing oil and put the cylinder back.

I will have the K6 face plates soon in my online store. Do you still need those?
I also restore K6 and F1 gauges, both miles and kilometers

Hi Lecram,
At this moment I do not need new faces as I did find some nos clocks.
Saying that the speedo sometimes sticks at 90 to 100 kph which is OK as I do not go much faster than that I like to see the countryside here.
If this starts to annoy the hell out of me can you repair it?
Many thanks
Bitsa
