Is it possible to strip speedo/rev counter to clean condensation stains from the inside of the glass
Thanks

Yes, speak to Al Marshall or Chris Rivett.

It can be done, but you need to be very careful.

I have found that if you use aluminium soft jaws in the vice and gently grip the outer ring that holds the two halves together and carefully open out the 'U' section ring. Open out the bottom section so that it won't show. Use a twisting motion with a good quality screw driver and only work against the section that is being supported by the vice jaws. Patience is the secret. Take it steady and open the whole ring up before attempting the seperate the two halves. Once apart use a glass cleaner to clean the glass. When reassembling open the vice jaws so that they are almost gripping the largest diameter of the top piece. The last one I did I used a bit of silicon on the joint to try and keep the moisure out a bit. Once supported in the vice as above, use a largeish pin punch (around 8-10mm) to dress down the ring. Only dress down against the vice jaws. Initially do both opposite sides of the ring and then move the clock by 90? and dress, then move by 45? etc so that you gradually reform the ring. A little bit at a time is the secret. Just take your time.

It's time consuming but worth it in the end!
