Just to update you all, the lens was repaired! I was able to donate almost 4 hours of my life to polishing it with a plexi glass scratch remover, but it looks great! You can still see a little distortion if the light catches it just right, but the improvement is astonishing. I didn't think that the lens could be recovered. One thing I learned from the Binnacle removal is that you may need to remove the spedo cable from the lower end as well, otherwise you might not be able to tilt the Binnacle forward enough to undo it from the instrument cluster. Thanks all for your help! Tyler #3472
