Speedo Packing Alternative

Hello,

I was curious if anyone has a good idea for replacing the rubber gasket/packing that cushions the speedometer to the headlight bucket. One NOS was just up on ebay and sold for an amazing amount! Which leads me to believe that these might not be so readily available...

Can one be fabricated? Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Dan i used the black rubber surround from a truck air filter, its the strip of rubber that sits on the top and bottom of the filter, i cut it to size and stuck with superglue!

there's a guy from South America on eBay selling modern replicas. Haven't seen any for a while but they were about $26.

Just fitted mine to my CB77 resto and they fit well - now to source a one to one reverse drive for my counterclockwise speedo...
