Instrument pod #2
The seperate instruments are in poor cosmetic shape but do actuate once power applied. They are King-Seeley brand and I have an original King-Seeley maintenance & repair manual, that I bought some months ago when I first thought it may be needed. An acquaintance of mine has the electronical ability to test the accuracy of each gauge for me.
A set of mileage wheel decals is on the way also. Some disassembly required to remove them without damage. I will need just the right amount of coffee the day I do these!
The speedometer needle is easy to remove if speedo is out of the pod and you can get to the needle shaft below where it is attached. Hold the shaft BELOW the needle itself with thin pliers, and twist needle GENTLY while pulling up GENTLY. These things are so lightweight that they bend if you just look at them, so take it easy.
