Not much else to do, so I'm starting work on the dash. The only gauge I hadn't renovated was the dual coolant temperature & oil pressure gauge because you have to disconnect the oil and water lines to draw the back of the gauge off. Now that the dash is out of the car though, it was easy. Three small screws each hold the separate gauge mechanisms to the side of the housing. I can then be very carefully drawn away. Then I masked off the housing and painted the inside high gloss white, like I had done to the rest of my gauges. After this treatment the night visibility of the gauges is way better (ie readable). I discarded the translucent blue filter ring for the same reason, since the blue can be easily reproduced by painting the instrument bulbs. After assembly, I calibrated the temperature readings - click on the pictures for details.
