... we need Alan Kelly's 3D printed clock casings: or Simon Well's reproduction facias, (or Norbo overlays): Well I suppose needs must back in the day! Came across the above in some clocks I'm trying to save. The speedo and tacho actually worked. As did the trip knob.

Classic 'repair' from back in the day when none of the stuff we have access to was available. We really are very lucky in 2021 to have Al and Simon's products.
FWIW I bet that took ages to do as well.

Back then I think we cared less about form and more about function. Getting that shit to work with the stuff available and whatever skills we had. It does look iffy, but as Jon says... the lad put a bit of time and effort into it and it worked!😲🤣

To be honest... I was guilty of some pretty bad bodges back in the day, when I was impatient and skint. I rather like the tacho facia. Has a nice, homemade thing going on.🤣

The guy/girl/it/they, obviously never paid attention to Blue Peter's Val and her sticky backed plastic escapades. Probably more interested in a pair of "Val's old knickers!" Now that's something not to be sniffed at!
Suppose that fix helped keep the front wheel down with the half hundred weight of silicon/plastic filler/flour and water paste, so not all bad....
