My choke knob was loose in the dashboard so I wanted to tighten it. First I
had to remove the tach. The PO had lost or broken the holding brackets so
he held it in by putting double face foam tape around the inside of the
opening. I don't know how he got it in but I do know it took me several
hours of pushing and prying to get it out. I tightened the choke retaining
nut as best I could. It is recessed into the back of the dash so I ran a
screw driver into the crevice between nut and wood and moved it a little at
a time.
While I had the tach out I also took out the speedo. Both instruments look
good. There are no blemishes on the face and the bezels need only polish.
But all the rubber needs to be replaced. The tach does not read correctly
and it needs a new socket for the generator light. The speedo needs the trip
reset stem to be replaced.
Are parts available for me to fix these thing my self?
