Re: How to dismantle Series 1 Combination Guages
Kev,
Which step you're stuck on? The removal of the cluster or just the back cover to get to the circuit board?
Are you planning to drill the black fascia around the dials to have this "indicator"? If so, you don't really need to take out the circuit board and can slot wires from the edges.

Re: How to dismantle Series 1 Combination Guages
No worries mate,
Easy!
There are 7 screws holding the black cover which covers the circuit board and they're located as follows:
There are 3 hidden screws, one under the fuel guage dial and one under the speedo, so all you need to do is push the needle all the way to 220kms/hour (don't worry, you won't get booked LOL  ) and do the same with the fuel and temp needles (do so gently) and then unclip the bottom of the dial faces from their place just enough to lift the corners to expose the hidden screws:
The 3rd hidden screw is under the long black strip which you can simply remove from its place to see it:
When all 7 screws are removed, just unclip the black plastic cover from its place
The circuit board itself can NOT be removed, as it is attached to the dial needles and these are spring loaded, so stay clear from them or you will face major dramas putting them back in if they pop out.
Nice location for that 4WD torque gadget if that's what you're doing

Does this strip unclip or slide out ?

Same here, but I didn't want to disappoint Kev so early in the game LOL

I imagine he already had the photos from the previous time when he dismantled his instrument cluster
Nope Rich, these photos were taken last night after I dismantled the cluster right here on my desk. I have told you guys before that EVERY screw in my exy has been touched, I can do this blind-folded now LOL

Re: How to dismantle Series 1 Combination Guages
Jalal you are such a naughty boy 8(
I did say not to rush out and take pics straight away.
But thanks for your usual extra effort.
