  • Reassembly

It’s time to put everything back together. Here’s a photo of all of the parts:

  • Assembly

    Assembly is the reverse of the disassembly taking care once again with the movement and inner face. You’ll probably need to replace the O-rings. I purchased new ones from Barrie Robinson in Canada. He sells a complete set for the Tiger that consists of 14 O-rings (2 large & 4 small Jaeger’s gauges) for US$17 including postage.



    That’s about it. Here’s a photo of the finished product. The whole operation does not take long and the results are very satisfying as you can see from the “after” picture shown below.

  • Editiors Note: The source information for all of the Tiger and Alpine O-rings, both internal and external, are listed on the next page. This is neither an advertisement, nor an endorsement, but a listed resource, as this is a non-commercial site

Good luck.
