Rusty " Tach" Dash
Why are these so prone to rust? The rest of the gauges don't look too bad. Is there a fix for this? Not mine just curious.

It's most likely from moisture behind the lens. Best fix is to disassemble and restore the gauge faces.

Re: Rusty " Tach" Dash
Restoring the gauge faces doesn't sound that easy. Has anybody done this? Might be easier to just replace the tach.

Re: Rusty " Tach" Dash
Get you a vinyl gauge decal for the tach after cleaning the rusty gauge up.
