Excellent choice on the cherry, I have an Allison where the dash is moulded right into the body with a thin wood looking laminate on top, took off the laminate and used cherry veneer plywood. It started as 1/2” but I planed it down to a 1/4”, came up really nice

I put a plastic zip tie around the bushing instead of the ring, , it seemed like the easiest thing to do, still working fine

Have the same speedo and the same trouble. Shipped it to NSI in Greensboro N C. They fixed it, just be sure to tell them your tire size

Thanks for the comeback Mike.Must have been a common fault in the vehicle .I read a bit ago where the Gas Monkeys restored an Allison and it had the same problem and they just put in an extra tank like you mentioned.It was a beauty, by chance is that the one you purchased? By the way great site Paul, very informative!
