i'm about to install a set of white faced gauges i bought from blue oval industries. the directions that came with them are not for 87-93, but for 99+ years. does anyone have a link to a site that has directions on how to install on an 87-93? thanks.

I could send you mine, but it's pretty straight forward

1. Remove the lower shroud (ribbed piece I think came off first) One screw on each side
2. Remove the knee blocker plastic. There are 2 screws on the bottom and the top is snapped in.
3. Unscrew the lower shroud. That was 3 or 4 screws
4. Remove the upper and lower shrouds (it'll help to move the tilt lever to get the steering wheel in the right position
5. There are 4 screws that secure the cluster hood to the IP. Remove those
6. Use a small flat blade screw drive to unlatch the switches from the hood. (you'll see a small tab in the middle of the switch assemblies. Push on that and pull the switches towards you)
7. With everything unbolted you can then remove the hood and have access to the cluster
8. There are 4 (or 5) screws that hold it to the IP. pull the cluster out a little and then unlatch the wire harness and speedo cable
9. Remove the lens and needles (hardest part if you got a crappy tool)
10. Peel the old faces off and then remove the tape backing and install the new ones
11. Reinstall is the reverse....

Let me look for mine, they have to be here somewhere
