Gilera odometer -disassembled and reassembled
I have already dismantled and painted old speedometers. This time I had an old empty oil can in my garage that had never been thrown away. With a large hole saw I cut the sheet metal to the exact size of the original. I marked the main speed points with scotch tape and with an acrylic marker I wrote them on the glass, but on the inside. The sheet metal was too new for my tastes, so with a mixture of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and salt, I increased the rust that was already there. The result doesn't seem bad to me, but if you want to leave me a comment with your personal opinion, please write!
I didn't finish the outer edge because I didn't feel like it, I realize I could give it a black paint.
