Go to www.vetteessentials.com they have detailed instructions. If you have access to a color printer, print them out so you can have them at hand as you do the install. I used them and everything went fine. Just take your time.

It looks more intimidating than it is Gary. Just set aside a 3 hour or so block of time and don't rush.........Clean the trim rings and the black rings around the gauges with denatured alcohol (use q tips) and use numerous tiny dots of the superglue gel around the rings. Just time consuming but well worth the results.

When I did mine I kept it upright except when gluing on the rings, to do that it had to lay face up of course. No problems at all nearly a year later

Thanks
I want to thank all of you for the threads. The instructions from vetteessentials was great. If took me about 3 1/2 hours. I cleaned all the parts before replacing them.
ThanksAgain,
Gary
