anybody have any idea of where to find the rubber "seats" that the gauges sit on when restoring a set of 81 gauges? mine are trashed and or missing.

thanks a lot!

Welcome aboard, Kent!

The big ones for the speedo and tach were still available from Honda in 2008, part #37115-422-008. About $10 each. The small one for the voltmeter is NLA.

I think what folks do for the voltmeter is buy an extra gauge rubber and cut and glue it...

The voltmeter diameter is not unusual and some aftermarket parts should fit. I know that there was a Goldwing 1800 acessory voltmeter available from someone that had the same diameter.

I think Dave fairly recently bought a couple of the voltmeter cushions from someone overseas where they were still stocked by Honda - He'll fill us in on the details I'm sure

The volt meter cushions were available as of last year in Australia - not sure about currently. Good memory, Don!

Thanks for circling back on the topic, it's good to keep the knowledge base up to date.

heres a beauty for all of you. when polishing the chrome trim rings on the tach and speedo be very carefull on the buffing wheel, duh. had one ripped out of my hands and bent up pretty good. also, my gauge faceplate has a slight bend in it. checked with honda and both parts un-available. been watching ebay. anybody have any ideas???

[daves79x]

I believe the trim rings are stainless. Anyway, I have several here if you need one. The faceplates are outrageously priced when you can find one. If yours is just tweaked a bit, straighten it and repaint if you need to. Keep in mind the '79 bezels are aluminum and the others are steel.
