    I need a little help and a recommendation. I'm doing my cluster and speedo. I have an original speedo manual that cover several types. The breakdown show two gaskets - one on each side of the glass. Do the AD types get two gaskets of just the one between the outer bezel and the glass?
    Secondly I was reading the tech article from the stovebolt site I think and it indicates the use of decals but show a kit that looks like to me to be the adhesive backed vinyl type. So who sells the best kit? Decal or Vinyl?
    Thanks for chiming in.

    The vinyl decals are all I have been able to find. They work wel, just make shure the under surface is clean and smooth.

    Cluster F**k

    I used one set of the vinyl ones and the speedometer decal doesn't stick real well due to the step or raised area next to the needle area. I tried pricking (old trick for letting trapped air out of decals) the vinyl with a pin to let the air out next to the step but that didn't work. I guess I'll have to live with it and hope it doesn't bubble up come summer time. :(
