Tach Dash Problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*dtlilly* · 03-22-2003, 11:30 PM

I took my dash tach out today. This eve. I took it apart to clean everything up, and 4 little spacer things fell out (see pic). Does anyone here know where they go in the bezel?

They are antirattle doohickies. They go between the plastic bezel and the clear plexiglass lens. You should be able to see where those grooves match up with the bezel.

There should be six of them...they go on the outer edge of where the lens sits against the bezel. There will be little areas with rasied edges that match the indentations you see in the pads in your hand.

Thanks for the replys

I found another of those anti-rattle thing-a-ma-jigs stuck in the old bezel, so I have 5 of them. Here is a pic of what it all looks like with a new bezel. The bezel was only $25 on e-bay, because it was a second, notice lower corners where woodgrain is retracted a bit.
