[TR] TR6: cleaning up speedo/tach/gauges vs. paying someone else to do it

[Paul Tegler]

they all open the same way... twsit to line up the crimp over of the 
chrome trim ring to the body cut outs. The problem is the old o-rings 
dry out and basically glue them in place.
Replacement o-rings are avail for hte glasss to body and rinf to glass 
interfaces  (as well as gauges to dashboard. ) cleaning them up is not 
had,just take your time.
