I have taken the H1A gauges apart and I am continuing the "touch up" .

Question, where do you put the dampening (damping) fluid in the gauges?

Moo don't tell me on the glass, I tried that, it did not work.....

The speedo swings pretty wildly and I just have to do something. Thanks guys.

Is there any damping grease/fluid in the "bowl" assembly, and if there is, what is it? I have a few gauges, some spin nicely, others are real "scratchy". This is the one triples issue I have never come up with an answer for!! I am all ears.

Try this: http://www.mindsetsonline.co.uk/product ... ts_id=1166

Should only require the smallest tiny drop
