Other projects...since we had the steering column and wheel out of the way, and the needles were bent and falling apart, I decided remove and to do a bit of rehab on the cluster. Unfortunately I forgot to take the "before" photos, but what you are seeing here is a little Testor's enamel paint to "fix" some fading on the guages. For the tach I added a darker orange to the faded dots from 7-8k, and for the battery voltage I added a lighter yellow-orange to fix the faded areas at the top and bottom.
Thanks to a thread elsewhere on the forum I have found and ordered some Plastruct triangular rod off of Amazon. When it gets here I will rebuild the speedo and tach needles.
From a search on the site I have seen that it is possible to replace the larger bulbs with LEDS. What about the small "ricebulbs?" Is there a PnP version of those available? Does any one know the PNs for these?
Thanks.
