Instrument cluster rubber insulators
« on: August 31, 2020, 04:47:27 PM »
Hope I'm describing this correctly.. There are small rubber insulators that go between the cluster and the gauge lens for each of the three clusters. I have found these insulators to be hard as plastic and breaking apart from age. I found a similar diameter rubber hose I could cut into sections to use for this but I am uncertain of the exact length?? Anyone have more info on these "insulators"?

Length is no more than 5/16" or so maybe 3/8" if they shrank any

And that's about $0.10 in materials...
What I was thinking too.
