Change my face

I have the dash out to replace my odo bulb and want to change the color of my tach face. Before I start removing screws everywhere has anyone done this and what is the most direct way of getting to the gauge face?

I got it changed. I found an article in Pelican's forum. Of course mine didn't quite look like their instructions but a little dare melting here and there worked. Now if the bulbs would just get here I could reassemble the car and enjoy some of this warm weather.

The red tach is neat- reminds me of Ferrari. What colour of bulbs?

where did you buy the center tach face? I've been looking for awhile and want to change my tach to yellow, but want to keep clear from ebay .

A place called either whitegauges.com or whitegauges.org. Good people to work with. I had to pay I think a $10.00 premium for the color plus I requested just the tach face, not the whole kit. I just got my bulbs so I'll see what it looks like under light.
