Black Gauge cluster for my 76.....

I found your thread looking for instructions on how to get the glass out of the cluster. Maybe it was just a long day, but i can't figure out how to remove the aluminum retaining rings on the backside of the glass without going nuts on them and risk mangling the retainer ring or breaking the glass. What's your secret?

IIRC, the metal rings are just twisted in place. You can take a flat head screwdriver and push the ring to unlock it.

And while you have it apart, painting it with a chrome paint will help brighten things up too.

Hmm, they seem to indicate that the rings will fit the faux wooden panel only. Is that right?

Cheers,

I bought them some time ago from another FAQer, but he provided this link:

I went from the plastoid faux woodgrain to real wood grain ala Luxus.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
