That Tack looks same as Wes's 71 and both my 72s. Best looking of the clock styles to me. Can ya even imagine bouncing the needle off back side of zero peg and then even more, ugh. Cryogenic tempering of whole engine down to fasterens may of saved total destruction. I later found out 1000 mile later it was cam chain w/o tensioner that though timing off so ran out of spunk at 5000 rpm. I only discovered that when Peel eventually sezied while easing home into garage, but turned out only to be a belt pulley side plate loctited screw shook loose and snagged in case wall but put back and carried on another 1000 miles up 110 mph, as that's as fast as she'd go afterwards with the huge winter wind screen on.
The strangest part was Peels crank half self healed the excessive bending of 1/16" DS and half that on TS and may of continued to correct like there was metal memory at work destressing back to the frozen pattern?
