I'm replacing the dash on my '74 TR6. The gauges/speedo/tach all work=20
(maybe not terribly accurate tho!). But, wow, they're pretty grimy=20
compared to this shiny new wood dash I've got. What's left of the=20
o-rings is cracked and crumbled. With a little encouragement I can get=20
the speedo and tach open - but how does one safely open up the=20
fuel/temp/oil/volts gauges?
=C2=A0
The other option is to send them to a restoration shop (there are=20
several that show up in a search; note that Nisonger is no longer doing=20
repairs but selling replacement units only). Any idea what a=20
clean-up/check-up would cost for these 6 units? I've got a huge list of=20
other things to work on rather than spend the time on these things.
Thanks!
