Re: Tach Dash Installation/Rebuild FAQ

Now that you have swapped over all the gauges to the freshly painted tach tins, you will need to pull out your new/original dash bezel. Once you have torn down the dash you will need to look for the six (6) rubber snubbers that are used to keep the dash from chattering down the highway. They look like the one below and are located in the locations referred to in the second picture.

Next you will take your new/original tach lense and place it in your new/old dash bezel as pictured below. If you are using a repop bezel/lense, I noticed a fairly snug fit which required a slight bit of pressure for the lense to be placed in the correct position like below.

Now you will take your freshly painted front tin and drop it in the new/original dash bezel as pictured below. I noticed the tin fit but seemed to raise up a tad in one area. Once the dash is together the separation will go away.
