Dan-
I had good success replacing the lenses on my 77B's speedo and tach. Once
the instrument is out of the dash, removing the front bezel was quite
simple, and self-explanatory. Some cretin had decided to use what I assume
was a Bic lighter to see if the lens was glass (not) or plastic (yep).
Needless to say, the lens' were blistered, warped and discolored (some
people's kids!).
Had new pieces of plexiglass cut at the local hardware store, drilled a
small hole for the tripmeter push button, and everything went back together
nicely.
Regards,
Chris Delling

but thanks to Skip, I have a nice new cover to protect my new project, the
car said "ahh" when I put it on.

possible to remove the glass and fix it up? If pulling the glass off and
gibbonizing them is a mistake, I figured I'd ask first. They are all kinda
fuzzy with those little "worm tracks"....
