Dash cap neat trick

[Caen Fred]

Now that I had my electrical system sorted I wanted to check the condition of my gauges, the fuel was erratic and the clock... dead.

I read all about the ease of taking the gauges out from the glove box but I do not have Japanese midget hands. So I took my dash cap out, grasped my dremel and butchered the top of the dash above the gauges. I now had all the space I needed. I took the gauges out in 2 minutes, took them apart dusted them mist them with a spray of electrical cleaner. I just had to fit the cap on the dash again and now all is back in place and working. All in all it was a 20 minutes job.

Try that with your fancy non cracked dash

How and now for the annoying part, I forgot how noisy is the tic-tac of the clock. That is until the Twice pipe come to life

I laughed.

I cried.

Dry your tears, the dash was shot at seven!!!!!!!!!!!! places. Way beyond repairs. Thanks to the californian sun.
