CB550f speedo face wanted

Don't worry about post costs, it's OK. Just PM me your address.
BTW, I am looking at a capacitance discharge micro spot welder for interconnection of NiCad batteries (if you solder them it reduces their life). Do you think if a gauge clamp ring was cut with a Dremel, it could be removed and replaced again and micro-spot welded or is the answer the Jubilee clamp around it and then de-crimping and then re-crimping. Trouble is I have not tried the re-crimp yet.
Cheers.... AshD

Thanks Ash, pm sent

Cheers for the PM Peter,
In a meeting at my new job most of the day (boring zzzzzzzz) so no chance to strip gauge but just stripped it down tonight but forgot to bring home my digital caliper.
However, measuring with steel rule, dimensions look pretty close to what you need and face has no cracks etc. Dunno how you are supposed to safely remove the plastic needle though, looks to be glued on to me! And trip knob has be left attached to shaft and threaded thro' grommet hole after removing mechanism to back-plate retaining screws.
Will get the missus to post for you tomorrow.
Cheers ..... AshD

Thanks Ash that's great, two tea spoons under the needle boss and resting on the dial face screws. Equal pressure on both spoons and the needle should just pop off.
Your discription of the trip reset mechanism leads me to be preatty sure it's exacly the required dial face. Oh there's no great rush. Thanks again.

Hey -- that's exactly what I used - two spoons-didn't mention it as thought you would consider me a bodger!!
