Cracking open and cleaning the two main gauges
All:
Sometime next month I'm going to pull both the speedo and the fuel/water temp/charge gauges on my 68 2a. They are both in fine working order, but the glass on both have sand paper burns and they are pretty full of dust and could benefit from a cleaning. On one of the two, the internal rubber gasket between the glass and the gauge is slipping into the main view as well.
I ordered two new pieces of glass from Nisonger along with the glass gaskets and two mounting-to-instrument panel rings.
Anything I need to look out for? Just looking to swap glass, clean out dust and return to the truck.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. I have seen the Anthony Rhodes pdf. I'm looking more for personal experiences/advice from those here.
