<\/a><\/p>\nThe space.\u00a0 1000 sq ft.\u00a0 High ceilings.\u00a0 Lights.\u00a0 Skylights.\u00a0 Giulietta’s waiting for help.<\/strong><\/p>\n Where the delicate stuff occurs.\u00a0 Dig these old Steelcase desks.\u00a0 I don’t think they could make these today for less than $3000 each, these were a cheap package deal.\u00a0 Two bags of oranges!\u00a0 Shelf holds a lot of Glas, Lancia and Giulietta parts.\u00a0 Laurence is responsible for the tool box happening.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I spent all my spare time this week so far scrounging up furniture, tools and the like, and this afternoon after lunch I was done.\u00a0 The floor was swept, the shelves organized, and all the Lobo and Fontana (and a few RIBE, DORN, KAMAX and blank) fasteners picked out of the ‘used’ bag for tumbling. What’s a good first job? \u00a0 How about a set of gauges that the new inserts for just arrived…\u00a0 I dig fixing up gauges.<\/p>\n How you find them: inserts yellowed, needle plastic yellowed, weird discoloration on the polished aluminum center button, dust, oxidation and well, lots more.\u00a0 They tend to work in this state, but in a restored car let the rest of the car down.\u00a0 How does the trip reset cable come off?\u00a0 It unscrews…<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> It’s sort of like an analogy for the whole car.\u00a0 I use some secret approaches to the paint and it comes back.\u00a0 You can see here it’s looking better from about 1 to 4 o’clock.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> In its own right not amazing, but way better.\u00a0 I need to get some paint this color.\u00a0 Red dots are shift points for the Rev counter illiterate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, glossed over a bunch of details like filing the edges of the new insert so the trim ring would fit, wiping everything down with IPA and waxing the face.\u00a0 Compares well to the tach.<\/p>\n See, the face isn’t perfect, but you don’t look at the face -it’s the needle you care about.<\/strong><\/p>\n Taking the tach apart.\u00a0 Paint is peeling a tiny bit on the ring that lives behind the number insert.\u00a0 Amazing how yellow the inserts go.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
