It appears the 85.5 did change to three screws.bradartigue wrote:I honestly don't know when it went to 3.

Well I wasn't making it up...davery wrote:It appears the 85.5 did change to three screws.
I remember getting the parts in those pininfarina bags and the packing material was an Italian newspaper from 1985. I should have kept the whole thing! Would be worth quite a bit now, a bagged, complete interior...

Re: New 1980 Owner :)
I lost track of this post last year..... lol Sorry to all contributors.
I removed the clock, put my fuel gauge where that was, put the oil pressure gauge where the fuel gauge was. This summer will buy and install parts as necessary to link the gauge up and get it working.
I did redo my Cheap and cheesy original face plates (gauge cluster, middle plate and glove compartment both sides) to mahogany to match my steering wheel. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Ideas, where are you located? I'm in Calgary/Airdrie area. Lots of other Canuck members, all great humans.
Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.
