hello there,
ahhh yes, the fogging of the gauges.
i have the same problem when there is a lot of rain and it is warm out or a
lot
of humid air.
recently i decided i needed to clean my gauges and replace the 'cork type'
material
found under the bezel. i decided to cut my own cork, but this is not very
fun.
but i gave it a shot anyway. the problem is the cork wants to twist and not
make a good
seal. the glass needs to rest directly against the bezel by the way. so some
sort of seal
might need to be around the glass. i did not want that mess-with using goo
and trying to seal
the glass and have it slip around.
i did however choose to do an experiment using ultra blue form-a-gasket type
of stuff
(i think someone on this list was also thinking that!)
okay, last week (during the heavy rain) i checked the TR-and... (shhhh)
started to drive it, but promptly decided the rain was too much for any
possible rush hour traffic/flooded roads in a TR6.
anyway, two of the four gauges were fogged.
the gauge w/ ultra blue was fine. i also believe the ultra blue can easily
be scrapped away-as it turns
to a kinda plastic feel.
i would try that. you can build it up as needed to make a snug seal.
have fun. tip: take the glove box out to gain easier access.
