Yes, Max, the gauges look great. :nabble_smiley_good:

But that filter looks awful! What's in there? Can you tell?

Thanks @ all:nabble_smiley_happy:

in the filter and the pan a lot of small pieces of metal.

There are magnetic. I think thats the reason for the noises in the transmission.

But, what is this? it was in the pan too?:nabble_thumbs-down-23_orig:

The old liquid looked very clear and did not smell burned.

Since it is working properly I drive times so on.

The pieces look like part of a snap ring. But if it is working well, I'd do as you said - drive it.

Are those Vernier calipers? You aren't using dial calipers? Cool!

Yes, it is. So, what scale would that be?

Inch/mm is 1/25.4 so 12.7 is a multiple. Or 127. But 128? :nabble_anim_confused:

I'm glad that digital calipers can do conversion for me but day to day a dial caliper never runs out of battery and is easy to read.

My eyes are getting to where it's a challenge to use my Mitotoyo verniers.

So all that is packed in grandpa's Kennedy box.

Small updates,

new white LEDS with the original blue Cap for the Dash and i have painted some (not all) silver lines.

The new tacho comes later, the winter is long.

What I have to watch out for is my C6 transmission. Something is buzzing.

It is always the same in every gear, I guess the oil pump.

After an oil / filter change it is better.

Here is a video before the oil change.

and this is how it looked in the old filter form the C6.:nabble_smiley_cry:

But it works very fine!

Max do those dim even though they are LED?

Could you post the info on the replacement bulbs?

I want to do this but there are so many Lumen options and wattage equivalent specifications, I'm concerned I'll get them and they will be so bright the color from the factory cap does not show through.

I really like the HIPO LEDs I'm using, although they are expensive.
