Remove guage lens?

[dolly_parton]

I want to re-paint the needle of my 400, but after trying to pry off the chrome lens cover, I gave up. How do I get to the needle?? Also, I have a replacement face for the tach (original has a crack), but again, how do I get to it.

It can be done... but it ain't easy and you might dent up the chrome bezel. Read this post. Unfortunately the photos are now lost.

Right - on both counts, thank you! It is far from impossible, just takes a bit of patience, and a sharp, skinny screwdriver. Better yet, five screw drivers, get some leverage under the rim, insert the next driver, so on. Twenty minutes of mucking about per gauge.
