Does anyone know how to remove the cowling from the instrument binacle? I have just managed to snap it trying to get it out, so not only do i need to get it out, but i need to replace it now! :mad: :reallymad
To be precise, I have managed to undo everything, except at the back, at it don\'t wanna come off there - hence it snapping! I thought it might unclip, but instead it snapped!
if I remember correctly you need to undo all the screws then pry the instrument panel out of the plastic clips
Hope this helps
ditto me too very brittle, i also could do with a replacement

Yeah, I\'ve found that out now :mad: But I\'ve now shattered it in the process and its in bits! I don\'t think the sun helps - it makes the plastic more brittle, and the clips less flexible, so by the time you try and take it out, you\'re fighting a losing battle!
Theres a clip at the very front that seems to get itself wedged into the plastic housing - I spent about 10 mins jiggling the cover until it wore itself loose.
I struggled to find a replacement cowl when the idiots that did the speedo conversion broke mine. I ended up repairing it with fibreglass and filler, and repainting it matt black. Looks as good as new ;)
Cheers

A more common problem than i thought! Funny you should say this, it\'s what I\'m trying to do now! Hopefully should have a good looking cowl very soon!
