Took the cluster apart to clean, lube and inspect gauges. Just took a dry paintbrush to knock off the dust and a dab of toothpaste to polish up the lens and remove the overspray Will take some minor work to mount this vintage dixco, but I think it looks right at home in there. This will be a nice addition to this build. Will paint the bezel once I solidify color. But I think for an hours work it looks pretty good. The black bezel I've had, just tossed it on since it was already cleaned up.
Old coffee can makes great storage bin for harness and small parts.
