I would like to replace the glass in the speedometer on my '37 coupe. Are there any tricks or tips I should know about before attempting this? This message was edited by Newms on 6-12-14 @ 9:49 AM

I'm not familiar with that one, but most glass is held in place by the bezel (frame), which is held in place with several small tabs that can be carefully bent back to release the glass after the instrument is removed from the dash. Be sure that the replacement glass is an exact duplicate, both in size and thickness. If there is a cork gasket, be sure to reuse it, if possible. If the face of the instrument needs to be clean, use cotton swabs dipped in distilled water to prevent damage.
