Installation Instructions: There are 4 screws
that hold the instrument casing on the dash. After removing the 4 screws the casing can slide back. Separate the 6 harnesses & the casing can be removed. Locate the 4 screws on the instrument panel that attaches to the dash & unscrew. (There are 4, 2 on each side) The cluster should be able to be pulled back if you unscrewed the right ones Pull the cluster away
from the dash a little ways. On the top there are
two metal straps that clamp the clear plastic to the cluster, they are
held together by 4 screws. Please note the position of the clamps before
you remove so you know how they go back on.) Once removed. Take the plastic piece with the hole cutouts & set aside. Insert the gauges over the needles by sliding the overlays over the needles. It may be a tight fit but gentle pressure to get them in will be ok. Using your fingers or a toothpick apply some glue to the bottom of the overlay or top of old speedo. Position it so the numbers are lined up with the old cluster. (Tip bend a staple out & mark the 2K, 4.5K & 6K positions. So the staples are sticking out higher than the overlay. Then when you overlay you can slip the staples out) Reassembly is opposite. P.S. When assembling,
be sure to check that the gauges dont bow up in the middle. If they
do. Put glue inside where it bows & repeat.
1.) Lay a base foundation paper on the original. make sure that you glue it down solidly to the original face so it doesnt bubble when it's cold out. (yes when laminated, the gauges would bubble when hot, with plain paper it'd bubble up when cold) after the base is layed, then apply the paper of the gauges on top of that, be careful that you dont have any snags where the needle rotates. It gets really annoying when you're driving & it sticks at 30 then jumps to 70 cuz of a snag by the needle. or
As far as installation
goes, it's pretty simple, just take pride in what your doing.
