JohnnyP Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Hi every one I am new to this and my typing skills are less than slow so bear with me. I took my dash apart without taking a picture first. I have a 3 sided light blue rectangular plastic piece and cant figure out where it goes on the back of the instrument cluster I have the complete dash out of my 72 baby. I have a photo but not sure how to upload with message Quote
footballubet Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Send the picture to me at silverado1@windstream.net and if I can't identify the piece I will post it here for you. And welcome to the boards! Quote
Rock Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Only thing I know that is blue is the brights indicator. Don't think it's rectangular though. Quote
JohnnyP Posted March 9, 2014 Author Posted March 9, 2014 thanks anyway rock but this is about 1 1/2 square I think it protects the circuit board somehow I no I will take a picture next time Quote
stangeba Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 This may help. I will give you the entire project, replacing my 71 heater core No A/C with gauge package. 71 dash heater core replacement pics Quote
Toppless72 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I believe what you're talking about is a light enhancer that fits behind the speedometer between the metal body and the gauge face, that helps give the light a bluish tint. A picture would help though. Quote
footballubet Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Here is the picture he sent. I don't recall seeing this. Quote
Rock Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Didn't have that piece on my 70 but looks like it goes around the head light switch?!?! Interesting. Quote
monte70car Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 If I'm not mistaken that part goes where the speedometer cable plugs in at. Quote
Toppless72 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Robert King... You are correct. This is what I was refering to. Inside the speedo gauge. Quote
jacob Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 mine did not have that either just rat droppings . Quote
72jrfan88 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 That looks like a piece I saw behind my heater controls. And a bulb screwed in where that circle was to give it a greenish blue tint when illuminated. Im not sure because I never fully pulled the part off but saw something similar when replacing that little bulb Quote
Rock Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 We need a pool going on where this thing goes.... Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I had! one of those in my '71s cluster, haven't taken the 70 cluster apart yet Quote
Murph Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 When I took mine apart in September, it was attached where the speedometer cable attaches to the gauge. Quote
Boots Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 mine did not have that either just rat droppings . ...LMFAO Quote
JohnnyP Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 thanks everyone it is going on where the speedo hooks on thanks a lot and by the way I had a lot of droppings in there to Quote
