Just in case
if anyone ever need this info this reply should help.
The rear disk of the Lightning acts as an e brake drum also on the inside of the disk are brake shoes and an adjuster so you can open them up a bit (if there is some pad left)
OK ok
I'll get new ones its just that things are slow at work and I'm trying to cut some cost for just the sprrdo and tack and clock in the 69 its just over $100 plus I'll still need to get the other two gages Fuel and temp. And to think I just wanted to paint the bezel!
I have a 69 I took apart the gage cluster to paint the black part and with the clear part (lens ) flat on something dark in color I can see that it is very Hazy but other than that its in great condition.
I'm thinking about putting a polishing wheel on it. Or 600 then 1500 and then the...

I have the interior completely out of the car I did keep the ribs in order still in the old headliner I have the kit off ebay. looks good the rear glass has been cut out and loose I just need to get someone to help me take it out I'm going to pad the roof of the car and put the glass...
Ok my car spent a good deal of time outside and all of the chrome looks old and the trim around the windows, hood and ever ware that has the non chrome metal looks old too. Can these be polished ? I know the new parts will not be as good as the OEM.
New Seal
Yes I will remove the rear glass but in the front my headliner was not under the glass there is a trim piece with screws in the front of the 69.
Me too
I tried the Dupla color (pep boys) and it splatters every ware and then has the nerv to run like water now that was in black now in my Lightning I uses the grey and it was great I was really happy with it on mt gage pod I may have gotten a bad can.
I'm ordering it
didn't plan on taking the rear window out but the headliner had to go I didn't need sunvisors but I'll probably change them just because now that I will have a set I do still need to get the metal part though mine is a bit rusted.
You didn't say anything about the padding or...
Kits
I have many books here and I looked in all of them and they sell the parts but not all together where can that be found? I do see the instructions sheet sold too.
