Dash cluster lens
« on: January 11, 2021, 03:55:51 PM »
On the dash cluster lens there are 2 round plastic things, one at the gas gauge and one at the temp guage. What color should these be? Mine appear to be aged plastic and I would like to brighten them up if possible. I dont want to buy a repo if it isnt necessary. Any suggestions?

The bezels can be removed and sent off to have the plastic re-chromed.  It's a bit extreme for such a small detail, but I've done it before several times with nice results.  99.9% of folks would just buy a repro lens with the bezels already on.
