Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!

Just finished replacing the tach needle. Thanks to MrJlr I also replaced the backlights with LED bulbs and generally cleaned up behind the dash. First time behind the dash for me so was really a learning experience. Removed the steering column and all. After working on and off for about a week, I finally got it all back together this morining. Looked GREAT!! Ran GREAT!! UNTIL!!!!!!!!!! during a short test drive, the %#&~ tach needle FELL OFF!!! Y'all have a wonnerful weekend, Bill

About the only encouragement I can offer is that it's usually a little easier the second time.
