speedo cover has wrong top speed...

italiano3kgt · 11-01-2009, 06:02 PM

yes i know its out of a base but i had to go with that cluster because the trans is a cable driven speedo insted of the elctronic speedo.

i think it should be up in time for me to run for the january ROTM. i have a suprise on the color, i think the color im going with will a color make this car stand out so well and the wheels that im getting are very eye catching but not to flashy. i think i like the wingless look alot better. so im just going to lower the hell out of it and keep it wingless.

thanks in advance.

seperate window from urethane
remove windshild from car
remove old urethane
clean and dry the area
using a rethane gun, put one solid stripe of urethane around the opening (use to much urethane and it will go everywhere when you put the windshield on) remeber, its going to spread out both ways, make sure you put the urethane in the middle, not off to the side.
carefully place the windshild on the urethane, then ajust it accordingly.
try to put it on as good as you can, so you dont have to move it to much while its on.

tool you will need:

a windshield remover helps for the first step, but ive seen it done, easily, with a putty knife.. make sure its long, skinny, and has a rounded tip. the metal should also be thin so you can get it between the car and the windshield easily.

a urethane gun and urethane

suction cups help for R&I but again, not nessisary

lots of rags and alcohol ( i reccomend adhesive remover)

make sure you do it in a warm area and dont drive it/expose it to cold for 2 or so hours after the install

Edit: make sure you wear rubber gloves, lots and lotsof rubber gloves no fingerprints!
and try not to get uurethane on the windshild (well try not to get it on anything, esp you interior)
