Title: One more instrument cluster Question
Post by: Raven Rider on 2014-09-27 16:37
How do I remove the Plastic window from the metal cluster housing?  I part with the numbers on it.

It's held in by all those little metal clips that you will see if you look from the back once the face is seperated from the speedo mechanism.
I belive I removed a few with a hooked scribe prior to gently pushing the lens from the front and out the back.

Those clips kinda dig into the plastic. I just pryed mine plastic cover off. Once the plastic face is off the metal clips will come off, I replaced mine with a Dennis Carpenter repro. Not a very accurate repro though but it does look better than what I had.
