I had all intentions of running my new lenses in the guages .
U water jet cut the glass
Then laser etched it.
Broke 1 assembling it so lucky i had a spare and fitted that.
Woke up this morning and it was broken.
So i had a mint screen printed one so i fitted that.
I will have a new pair screen printed in the original pale green onto the glass.
Re oiled and got the speedo running sweet.
I really like the colours in ghe guages.
