Re: Tach Dash Installation/Rebuild FAQ
While building my tach dash, I was fortunate enough to have a spare set of tach tins which allowed to media blast and repaint them to match the original colors. If you do not have a spare set of tins, simply follow the steps listed below, blast the tins, repaint, and begin the assembly.
Here's a few shots of what the tins looked like when I started taking apart the dash, and how they looked following a quick media blast and a quick tape and repaint. The tins need to be painted as follows: Front Tin: Semi Gloss Black - Front Summer Leaf - Rear Rear Tin: Summer Leaf - Front Clear Flat - Rear Speedometer Tin: Summer Leaf - Front Clear Flat - Rear Ammeter/Oil Pressure/Temp Tins: Flat White - Front Clear Flat - Rear The benefit of have a spare set of tins is that upon tear down of the original dash, a simple bolt and rebolt process can be done from the old tins to the new ones.
