Tach Dash Installation/Rebuild FAQ

[72BlckButy]

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.
