New Guage Cover hanging up.

[redbug2]

Hello,

Purchased the old RR cover that was on special since it was being discontinued. Fit like a glove but maybe just a little too tight.

The older cover would slowly open when I turned the key. The new cover is hanging up on the left side so I have to open it up by hand.

It looks like the left arm is slightly bent. Last night I put a piece of plastic under the binding point in the hopes that it will bend/train the arm over.

Has anyone experienced this type of problem? Should I heat the arm up to relieve the pressure while the arm is shimmed out?

I can live with it as is but I would like the "wow" effect when I turn the key.

hi, yes the holes were a tight fit so used a half round file just to open them up and also one the sides there is a mould line and removed the high points.

Add a little lubricant to the moving parts.
