Gauge fasteners +

[rogue555]

I am looking for the hardware that hold the circular gauges to the plastic protective cover. M3 maybe, but more importantly the little rubber "gasket/boot/plug" that keeps water out of the gauges. See if I can find a pic tonight.

Thanks in advance!

The smaller gasket is NLA but I have heard of people buying the larger gasket and cutting and gluing to make it smaller.

Close, 4mm. As far as the gasket, I have used an o-ring around the tach. Not ideal, but it works.

^^^ MIght have to go that route. Good idea. So bummed I lost the 1 set.

FWIW I have used small faucet washers from the hardware store in the past. They are rubber but with the use of a flat washer between them and the nut they work fine. If my 3d printer was working I would make some and mail them to you but I melted the hot end and just have not had time to fix it.


Photo for reference. I just took one of the old pieces and went to an Ace Hardware and cruised the plumbing isle until I found a size that fit.

Also if you have a 3d printer there is a file in the 3d print files section and they have been made out of TPU but you can just as easily do it in PLA.

I was going to get some cap nuts on order. So, M4 x .5 or .7. I am thinking .7

I just went out and measured with my thread pitch gauge, It is kind of tough as not many threads are exposed. It seems like a .8?

Mcmaster only lists .5 or .7 mm. Not saying MMC is always right, but they have a good track record with my work. Tough to measure .2 thread pitch with so little available to measure. I brought home some M4 nyloc from work see what I get. Yes!! The M4 I brought home is perfect. Just check the box tomorrow for size verification.

Yes, let me know what you find out. I want to replace the nuts also. Just don't want to pay Honda $3.00 each for the nuts!

BTW, I used a stack of Harbor Freight orings to replace the missing rubber suspension pieces. Not perfect but good for now.

This is what I tried last night. .7 pitch

Ok, good to know.....I am OCD and trying to find some chrome acorn nuts like the OEM. SO it is 4mm x .7.....

[rogue555]

You could try any of these. As long as you have M4 x .7 you should be good to go.

Let me verify one more time before you order.. I hate to mislead and I want to make sure it torqued all the way
