slick97spirit Posted August 7, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2010 hey ponch, you have a bunch of those on hand? What would it cost a fellow to get you to send me one? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted August 9, 2010 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2010 $80.00 for the set including postage. Please allow 30 days delivery. I'm at the chrome shop's mercy plus they screwed up George's parts the first time around and I had to buy new parts and machine a new base. They paid for the parts, but not my labor. Wondering about the price? Here's a breakdown for you. $10.00 parts, $40.00 chrome, $5.00 postage, $25.00 to drill/tap the base fitting and gas/driving to chrome shop & back (2 trips - 90 miles total). I wish I could do it cheaper. .... Ponch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted August 9, 2010 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2010 I wish I could do it cheaper. .... Ponch Ponch... do they make those fittings in Stainless??? And is that a new oil line??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted August 9, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2010 The 90 degree fitting might be available in SS, but the base piece is a 20 X 1.50 mm oil drain plug that has to be drilled and tapped. don't think it's available in SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponch Posted August 12, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) If any body already has the gauges installed and wants chrome fittings, I will sell them for $50.00 exchange.

Eck Posted August 12, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 12, 2010 Hey George, I just finished cleaning mine (now that I have my garage back), and I found lots of shiny chrome I didn't know I had..(or forgot it was chrome from all the dirt). You might want to start thinking about upping the anny on your accessory insurance coverage with all that chrome. (I am buying stock in bike cleaning supplies).

Ponch Posted October 4, 2010 Share #14 Posted October 4, 2010 Alternative: Swagelok part # SS-200-2-2. Stainless Steel. It's not shiney, but a little time on a buffer and it could be. Prettier than brass (unless you like brass). It retails for about $12.00. If you want me to get it send $15.00. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/dawarren77377/Gauges/DSC00022.jpg?t=1286205007 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/dawarren77377/Gauges/DSC00023.jpg?t=1286205007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
