This is a repair kit for Dr Desmo Gear Gazers, fits both TWINS and SINGLES models that we sell here at Bevel Heaven.
It includes a machined piece of acrylic and o-ring. If you have dropped, scratched or otherwise messed up the window on your gear gazer............
Instructions From Dr Desmo are below:
HOW TO REPLACE "O" RING AND OR WINDOW
THE DR.D "TRICK" TO DOING THIS IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. USE A SMALL DRILL PRESS, PREFERABLY WITH A LOCKING QUILL, THAT HOLDS THE CHUCK IN POSITION.IF NOT AVAILABLE, TWO PEOPLE MAY BE REQUIRED!
2. FIND A PIECE OF WOOD OR PLASTIC THAT IS APPROX. 1 1/2" DIAMETER X 2-3" LONG, WITH ENDS THAT ARE FLAT AND SQUARE (90 DEGREES)
3. PUT THE GEAR GAZER FACE DOWN (GASKET SURFACE UP) ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR FLAT WOOD
4. PLACE THE WOOD OR PLASTIC ROD APPROXIMATELY IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW5. WITH MODERATE FORCE, PRESS DOWN ON THE WINDOW, AND HOLD IN POSITION
6. USING A SMALL FLAT-BLADED SCREWDRIVER (1/8" BLADE), PLACE THE TIP UNDER THE CUTOUT/RELIEF IN THE RETAINING RING
7. VERY CAREFULLY PRY UP THE END OF THE RING, GRAB THE END AND UNWIND THE RING UNTILL FREE
8. NOW THE WINDOW AND "O" RING CAN BE REMOVED
9. CLEAN OUT THE AREAS WHERE THE NEW WINDOW AND "O" RING WILL BE
10. STRETCH THE NEW "O" RING A LITTLE AND PLACE IN THE BODY OF THE GEAR GAZER
11. REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE PAPER FROM THE NEW WINDOW, AND FIT INTO PLACE
12. USING THE WOOD OR PLASTIC ROD, COMPRESS THE WINDOW AND "O" RING AS BEFORE
13. WHILE HOLDING IT IN PLACE, INSERT THE RETAINING RING BY STARTING ONE END AND WINDING IT INTO PLACE
14. RELEASE PRESSURE ON THE ROD, AND CHECK THAT THE WINDOW CAN NOT BE ROTATED; THIS ENSURES A LEAK-FREE SEAL
15. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE DONE! (I SHOULD HAVE TRADE-MARKED THE TERM "GEAR GAZER" AS EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD USES IT...FIRST PROTOTYPE WAS MADE IN THE SPRING OF 1980, AFTER DAYTONA BATTLE OF THE TWINS RACE, INSPIRED BY RENO LEONI'S HAND-MADE ONE ON JIMMY ADAMO'S 950CC BEVEL RACE BIKE.
