This week-end I'll be replacing the Instrument Cluster plexi-glass that has all the instrument gauge chrome rings.

Any tips for a smooth install would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Here's the only tip you need: Take your time.

 

I'll have to, being that it'll be my first attempt at taking the Panel apart. I think there's only four screws that hold the Panel onto the hood??

Thanks Mahjik. Always good to hear from you.

 

do you know the part number for those? and how much were they?

thanks

what the hell...... my post should have been after mahjik's...... wierd......

 

holy crap it did it again..........

 

Yea, I can't remember off hand. 3-4 sounds about right.

I know when I took all my panels out to paint them, I ended up with several extra screws after the reinstall!

It will look like a new dash when you get it put back in the car. It's amazing sometimes how something so small can make such a difference.

 

I just ordered it this morning, along with other goodies. I should get everything by Friday. I didn't ask Ray for the Part Number, but the cost of the instrument cluster plexi-glass was $74.94.

 

I've always had that problem also. I'm glad I'm not a Surgeon.

 

are the chrome rings part of the plexiglass or are they seperate?

 

They are glued on so you can separate them, but they aren't sold separately.

 

I replaced mine but didnt really pay any attention to the separating part.

So can you remove the rings and paint them with a chrome paint and glue them back?

If so I will have to take my extras and do this to see how it works.
