Hello all, I need to change a bulb in one of the gauges in my 365gt 2+2. Do the gauges come out from the front ? and how if so ? If not any other way to remove one ? Thank you
My recollection is they are held in place by 2 brackets (behind dash) which can be removed by removing the knurled nuts and then it comes out from the front.
Mark is correct in the proper method to remove the gauges. The large gauges ( speedometer and tach) have two individual separate brackets that are held to the back by two knurled nuts. The rest of the small gauges have a single U-shaped bracket that is also held by two knurled nuts. After removal of the nuts/brackets, the gauges come out the front of the dash. The speedometer and tach will require that you unscrew their drive cables before they can be removed. The oil pressure gauge requires that you disconnect the hose that is connected to the back of the gauge. The wiring on the rest of the gauges is long enough that it can stay connected as you remove the gauge. Gauge removal is usually quite difficult due to space considerations (or lack thereof). All of the bulb sockets on the gauges just pull out of the back of the gauges. It is much easier to just pull out the bulb socket, replace the 1/4 turn bulb and then reinsert the bulb socket back into the gauge.
