Topic: Resealing "sealed" Honda C70 speedo? What to use?

[crowned]

Hi guys-- I just tore apart my Honda c70 speedo because it had no glass in it...
I had to dremel off the front part of the bezel to slide everything out.
now it's back together, but I don't know what to seal it up with...

Broken glass - when i picked this baby up, the glass was broken.
 

Odometer gears - aha! the inner workings of a speedo
 

Dremeled Bezel   - this is what i had to do to the poor bezel


Case needing sealant - i defer to you guys. tell me what to put on here to seal it!
 

I also have to make one of the flat o-rings that goes between the speedo and the handlebars. If anyone has a good idea for where to get a flat rubber sheet i could snip it out of, let me know! Oh, and i'm gonna show off my hobbits too!
   

 Thanks, Nick

Posted some info earlier in your other thread...you shouldn't have used the dremel, just pry/bend that chrome ring off so that it can be put back on again.  It gets somewhat mangled if you aren't careful or lucky, but usually it looks OK and better with new glass than broken as before.

As for the rubber, an old inner tube is often a good source to cut into small gaskets.  Sometimes you can find sheets of various thickness of rubber and cork at auto supply places - that's another more expensive source.  Then for sealing, the best material is a glue often used for auto trim attachment, called "auto goop".  It comes in a tube and is a gooey clear glue that cures semi-hard and is impervious to most solvents.  It really sticks and makes a good seal.  It appears similar to clear silicone caulking, which also could be used but which doesn't adhere as well and cures much more elastic.
