Remind me never to take these apart again, what a job getting the rev counter bezel back again. The inner disk just would not drop in, it had sprung out never to go back. Two G clamps and a small hammer persuaded it to reseat. Found a selection of gasket material by the yard to make all new seals. Have tried 12 v 5 watt side light bulbs, much improved but they are bayonet connectors not MES so am working on adaptor. First choice is to dismantle 5 w bulb and unsolder it to give a glass envelope with wire ends then resolder it back into an MES socket using a bit of superglue to hold it.
Speedo With the original 2.2 w bulb in the 50 mph position that had a plastic plug in it and a 5 w one in the original hole at 80 MPH I think it is acceptable.
Rev counter With a 5 w bulb in the original 3000 rpm position, much improved. Almost acceptable.
However will try 12 v 5 w halogen when I get down to Maplins.
