Re: [doc] Re: Dash crack repair.

[DANIEL SHANE <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A tip for removing and refitting,

When you remove the binnacle you have to unhook the
speedo drive cable from the back and that can be quite
tight and tricky, also tricky putting it back in.  

The best thing to do is undo and remove the cable from
the top of the lambda counter just by the clutch
pedal.  Then when you remove the binnacle you can pull
it out allot further and get to the back to unhook
everything much easier.
