Speedo and tacho foam

#1 PostAuthor: Gavin » Sat Mar 13, 2021 11:25 pm

Can anyone tell me the thickness of the foam that the clocks sit on, also is there a particular type I should be getting or will neoprene do.

Cheers

I searched old posts but I think it got lost in the great database wipe.
I had some foam from a supplier in High Wycombe which I made into several kits and then gave away.

I think I have a little left but not cut to size. As far as I remember it was 6mm Toshiba foam. Buggered if I can find it now.

Yes please. I couldn’t believe the state of mine when I last looked.
I’ve been hoping to find something suitable for some time.

I would take some too for my 1100ST, same as 1000J clocks. They do move even though nuts are tight, might solve it.

the J clocks are designed to have a bit of "suspension" to protect the electronics from vibration. bloody annoying, but true.
