Problem with new cluster faces

[speedjunkie]

Got my new cluster gauges from Poland today and quickly set into installing them. I figured I try installing the speedo face and see how that goes. Everything went well taking the old face off the cluster. The problem started when I transferred the little black pin that the needle rests on from my old to new. The hole for the pin on the new faces are slightly larger then the old faces. Unfortunately the pin doesn't stand up properly because of the looseness. I emailed the ebay seller asking for a possible solution but figured I try and see what my favorite boards can come up with. I thought about some crazy glue but worry it may let go with the vibration. Any suggestions are appreciated

Droopy pin

Cheers

I'd try finding something like this in micro size?

oh oh, and ADOS glues dry flexible rubbery finish unlike crazy glue that sets hard.

I can't imagine they come that small but i'll check it out

Can you use a circlip on the back side along with some super glue?

Try a hobby shop, I have them that small on my radio controlled boats for where the antenna comes out of the radio box.

ebay has them in a pack

otherwise I'd use black silicon.

JB weld, or 2 part epoxy.

I used 2 part epoxy on my R1 rev counter, hasn't budged so far (30,000miles)

Not difficult at all to change. I followed Pats Fz1 site found here ; http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/whitegaugegraphics.html
It only got complicated when the new faces didn't quite match up exactly with the OEM. I'm getting another set of faces from the eBay seller

Let us know how the new set goes, also, can you take a pic of the dash globe, is it replaceable?
