Re: [T3] clocks


I've not heard much about speedos failing here; I know the trip one in the
'73 project Square didn't work, and I fixed that with a fiddle inside -
don't recall what I did off-hand.  Maybe it is only temporarily OK.  Even
though we have the same Type 3s generally, the UK weather is much kinder on
the plastic and rubber than continental climates; it's just that the body
rusts so fast in the wet.

The other odd thing is the way fuel-tank, pump, filter and lines are said
to gum up within a few months of being laid up in the USA, when it simply
doesn't happen to any significant extent here.  Not to say there is no gum
found, but not enough to require a wire to get through the fuel line.  I
guess the middle east oil is just a different mixture of chemicals.

Interesting, I thought it would have it. Nevertheless, the same
problem will apply to the straight odometer.
