Thanx very much guys....here's the latest. 20% off from Classic Industries and I ordered a new gauge bezel and new knobs. Also got the new wiper switch. Parts info first.

New dash bezel; doesn't fit. The locating pins are too large and need to be filed down. You may need to enlarge the holes in the gauge tin cover. I also filed the edge of the plexi to fit in the new bezel. FYI.

Also, the wiper switch in Classic Industries catalog doesn't tell you that it has the button for the washer. It does, its pictured correctly. Works good too!

I ordered the knobs with stainless to match my cig lighter. They are not exact copies of the original but fine for me. Just letting everyone know as some people like things completely original. We all know how this re-pop stuff is...


Here are pics of the parts. Painted the bezel Duplicolor chrome which looks like aluminum to me. Polished the plexi with plastic polish to get out the scratches and cleaned all the dirt out. Reassembled and see what it looks like. Nice to hear this fire up after a month of sitting...just need to check the dash lights when it gets darker. I will be driving around this weekend
