CB550f speedo face wanted
matthewmosse:
I think a diesel road roller engine, landrover gearbox x2 in bits and honda rebel 125 in bits was kind of too much, organisation became chaos, then Ihad to find bits for a bmwr90/6 that I'd agreed to sell as a runner (carbs and coils needed then) - now it looks like a bomb hit it.

I have two seiki guages. One blue, one green. Ill try and get pictures up but my internet is restricted until tomorrow. :-[

Thanks for all your replies. The diameter of the face is 90mm (same as the ND type) The mileage counter aperture is 27mm from the top and the trip aperture 26mm from the bottom. Both those measurements ignore the tab on the top and bottom of the face. The holes that secure the face to the mechanism are 26mm apart (ND ones are 21mm apart)
I'm working on plan 'B' and that's using a dial face from a Silver's replica. The holes that secure it to the mechanism didn't line up so I filled them with epoxy and drilled holes in the face to suit. Seems to have worked OK but the replica face is thinner than the original. Seems a bit too flexable to me and the apertures don't quite line up. Working also on the the overlay in photoshop.
The correct face regardless of what's printed on it will be a better option of course.
Take care in those lofts, my kids nicked the ladder once when I was up there for a laugh. Found some rope up there and made my exit using that. Then used the rope to hang the kids, well not quite but didn't think it could be an option!

It's not a problem stripping the gauge I have down, I will never use it anyway and you have helped me with advice in the past.
Cheers... AshD

Thanks Ash, I would think all Seiki gauges of the same size and with the trip reset on the side would use the same dial face. Only what's printed on it being differant. At the very least I'll owe your the postage cost. No great rush, pm when
convenient.
