Hello gents (and I use that term loosely),
Newbie here, who just joined last week, with 2 914's stuffed into my garage, much to my wife's dismay (but that's OK as she get's most of the other rooms in the house). One of my 914's, the '71 Light Ivory 1.7, needs a new dash - I just ordered a new Dash Pad from "da factory" and it's due in next week. So, I need to mentally prepare myself for the uncharted challenge of swapping out the dash pads. Is there a written guide or weblink that details how best to accomplish the R&R of the dash pad, with minimal stress & red knuckles...? I figure it's a weekend project. Here's a photo of my '71 for grins... (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/sherman81/9142.jpg) Thanks in advance for any info you can share. Cheers, Ken |

harbor freight has them cheaper and I think they have a 1/4" one that is PERFECT... I think I got the 14" one when I bought my 3/8... the right tool always makes things go smoother...
the tool is almost useless ofr anything else, but rocks for the dash replacement |
