Hey guys -
 
This week I replaced my tach and speedo due to failing '66 units.  I had a
set of 67.5 gages but the bezels were very rusty.  So, I sanded them down to
metal and they look kind of like - "antique".  Not a bad look.
 
Well, I am driving my Roadster in this morning and the speedo works great,
but the tach starts to "squeal" and peg out.  As I was driving I reach under
the dash to disconnect the cable and just as I was down to the last turn on
the cable the tach pegs out and breaks the needle - BUMMER!!  Missed it by
10 seconds!  I will see if I can dig another tach up......:(..:(
 
Question - If this happens again, is there a way to lube the thing.  I can't
spray anything in there or it will fog the glass.  Also, how much to have my
'66 gages restored?
 
Road Atlanta!!
