Hood Tach Molded Cover Swap?
 

I purchased a repro hood tach for my 1969 Firebird about 25 years ago and painted the molded cover while painting the car.

Since then, the operation has been sporadic or not working at all, and the face has faded quite badly.

I just received my new hood tach and was wondering if anyone has had experience with removing the painted, molded hood tach cover from the old and transferring it onto the new unit?

Can it be done, anything that I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance on this one!...Paul

I've seen Mechanical differences in Original vs Repop, but repop-to-repop might-might not. Who knows.

..I will surely find out!

I completed the swap from the existing repro tach that I bought from Performance years and swapped the cover with the one from Ames...easy peezy, lemon squeezy

Can you elaborate on what is involved in the cover swap......i.e.
how did you do it?
