Hello everyone,


now that the roadster is registered and street legal I have the first few problems:


1) Is it normal that the speedo cable has to be inserted in the speedometer first? If I insert it into the drive on the torque tube first it's too short to drive the speedometer. (I'll see if it keeps in place or falls out of the speedo after the first few rotations tomorrow)


2) The gas gauge was rebuilt around 2 and a half years ago. After filling it up completely today I noticed a leak on the gas gauge. After draining 1/4 of the tank and disassembling the gas gauge I found that the cork gasket is completely gone, only small crumbs are left. Has that happened before?
My guess is that it's the darned ethanol fumes in the fuel. Do the neoprene gaskets work better?

Thanks and have a nice day,


Daniel
