Z1B Tacho/Speedo Housing finish.

#1 PostAuthor: ROZZER » Mon Feb 17, 2014 12:31 pm

I am renovating the clocks on my Z1B and can't make my mind up what the correct factory finish is. After looking at loads of pics I can't determine whether the finish should be satin black, gloss black or gloss black with a crappy finish (like the frames) - anyone with a definitive answer.

Cheers

Gloss Black it is then and if I get a crappy finish, I'll say it was intentional :wink: Thanks fellas.
