anyone wondered how to zero the clocks in a late Series, or just wondered what makes it work

5 numbered wheels, with indexing cogs, the mile indexing wheel (black) and the positional stay tab shims

along with the spindle and retainers - not shown is a light spring that pushes against the wheels and sits between the stepped and larger flat washers

and the slot that retains the tab

plenty of different ways to hold everything in place once you've zeroed it - here's my preferred (cheap) method

been there, :D the early series 2 clocks the genuine lr ones wer really loose made, yer can just turn them with a match stick when yer open the casing, saves too much tatting about,

them look really clean sean, mine wer reet ****ty ,
 
is the glass held on with peened over metal ring? (like defender) if so how did you remove it without destroying it or making a mess of it?
 
nope, they just twist off, got little tabs at the back of the ring

you make it sound like it's as easy as opening a bottle of coke :rolleyes:

in reality the large O ring, or whatever Jaeger opted to use when it was assembled to stop the glass rattle will have started to degrade and will have formed a horrible congealed seal that's often makes getting the facias off a right bugger
 
more goo to clean off - tranny brake mechanism, coat it with the thickest grease you can find or eventually it'll look like this

even the dullest of items have to be "done"

slice the rivets tails off with a thin drift

lokin good sean , like new

so yers is a '84 and were a bitch to do cause they used cheaper componants in the dash :D the 62 jaegers were easier to work on , had a small rubber o ring that wer in fact just a small rubber strip that peeled out quite nice in mine,
the brass front ring just turned quarter of a turn and the ring + glass dropped out to be cleaned,

or was i just lucky with the two sets i did last week ;)

if you ever wondered why your gear change is stiff, loose, notchy or just difficult to engage - before you go ripping out the GB or spending big bucks take the lever and ball assembly apart as it often fills with crap or either of the balls wear out

this one's quite clean !

lookin good sean, :) nice and clean

was only half finished stripping them when i took those pictures :)

tis kinda an obsession now - every day i HAVE to do something however small done

need to get it finished soon as I've found one of the last 2a's ever made that needs some TLC, anyone got a list of late 2a numbers i can check it against as am convinced it's one of the last 10 ?
 
i can make an enquiery , if yer wanna kno fer defo , call in to stafford trade and home supplies on weston rd by the hospital ;) he knos his stuff with reguards to chassis numbers,

yer ..... it does kinda become an obsession :D
