Gauge fasteners +

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.

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.

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 Find all posts View Profile Close 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
