sean , cant yer just turn a set of those on yer lathe ?? looks easy enough
i will, a just like a set of originals - plus they are as hard as fook - back yard case hardening is never particularly effective

anyone wondered how to zero the clocks in a late Series, or just wondered what makes it work
5 numbered wheels, with indexing cogs, the mile indexing wheel (black) and the positional stay tab shims
along with the spindle and retainers - not shown is a light spring that pushes against the wheels and sits between the stepped and larger flat washers
showing the stay tab
and the slot that retains the tab
plenty of different ways to hold everything in place once you've zeroed it - here's my preferred (cheap) method

been there, the early series 2 clocks the genuine lr ones wer really loose made, yer can just turn them with a match stick when yer open the casing, saves too much tatting about,

nope, they just twist off, got little tabs at the back of the ring
you make it sound like it's as easy as opening a bottle of coke
in reality the large O ring, or whatever Jaeger opted to use when it was assembled to stop the glass rattle will have started to degrade and will have formed a horrible congealed seal that's often makes getting the facias off a right bugger

lokin good sean , like new
so yers is a '84 and were a bitch to do cause they used cheaper componants in the dash
the 62 jaegers were easier to work on , had a small rubber o ring that wer in fact just a small rubber strip that peeled out quite nice in mine, the brass front ring just turned quarter of a turn and the ring + glass dropped out to be cleaned,
or was i just lucky with the two sets i did last week

if you ever wondered why your gear change is stiff, loose, notchy or just difficult to engage - before you go ripping out the GB or spending big bucks take the lever and ball assembly apart as it often fills with crap or either of the balls wear out
this one's quite clean !
is there no end to things that need cleaning - ready for blasting
