Update; DV and Terry: These gauges came in a nice packaged cardboard box, complete with little compartments to keep them from banging around. The instructions for each gauage call them marine gauages, the brand on the instructions are TeleFlex inc, from Sarasota Florida. I am sure an internet search could see if they are still in business. The mechanical speedo matches all the others in every aspect. I would not have thought a marine company would have made a mechanical speedo.
ED, just in case you do not have all the instructions and need them just let me know.
Today update, spent time cleaning some, then used a tap to clean out every hole that seemed to take a screw or bolt in it. then bolted on hood hinge, bolted on hood thima-a-gig, it keeps hood closed when it is supposed to. Just wanted to make sure it fits. Put bolts into the hood hinge plates, will leave the there for the build to keep from paint and primer filling them up.
did some grinding to allow the side vents to fit, then sanded and polished one side. here is before and after pix.
