Boy it’s hard to get under the dashAny tips on putting in those 2 little screws in the back of the gauge?

Then crawl in from the passenger side looking up. If you have your tools and light staged where you can reach them it’s a breeze. Well....kinda.

I did not realize that you could replace a '49 temperature gauge without removing the whole instrument housing and taking the face off. I did not realize that the housing had a large enough opening that you could pull the gauge from the back.
Learn something every day!
