15. Cover each gauge face with paper so that spray adhesive does not get on the gauge faces.
16. Spray 3M Super 77 adhesive over the front of the clean aluminum dash panel as well as the back
surface of the vinyl or leather dash cover.
17. Remove the paper that you placed on the gauge faces so that this paper does not adhere to the cover as
you place the cover on the dash.
18. After several minutes with the dash pad sprayed on its back side laying on a flat surface, place the
sprayed dash face down on the dash pad. When placing the dash down on the pad keep the bottom of
the dash approximately 2" above the base edge of the pad to allow material to roll under the bottom
side of the dash.
19. Trim the cover around the perimeter of the dash, leaving 1" of overlap on the tops side beyond the
aluminum edge.
20. Spray 3M adhesive along the back of the outer edge of the aluminum as well as the material sticking
out. Slit the material along any curve with a "V" cut so that it does not overlap on the back.
21. Press the material onto the adhesive covered edge on the backside of the dash.
22. While looking at the front of the dash, find each gauge hole. Using a razor, cut the dash material from
the center to the edge of the aluminum hole. Make a pizza cut with at least six linear cuts.
23. Cut out the material in the center of each opening so that there is ¾" of material hanging into the hole
area.
24. Press fit the 4" and 2" bezels into the dash by pressing on the outer rim section only. For 1987-1993
gauges pull out the trip counter button.
25. Using a razor, cut the switch holes.
26. Install the switches in the dash. One switch can be used to turn the fan on and off. The other is up to
your discretion.
27. The black push button is used for the horn and installs in the dash next to the switches.
28. Remove the upper steering shaft by pulling the steering wheel towards the cockpit.
29. With the dash lying face down on a clean tabletop, bend the edges of the dash down 1.25" in from the
ends so they are at a 45° angle.
30. Use the wiring extension pins to connect the gauges to the white master panel (the dash pod). This
was previously mounted on the firewall behind the dash.
