Angry Need to replace gauge lens...

Well broke yet another part on my car while installing my new parts...I have lost count of how many bolts I have broke This time I was installing my new ALKY Control kit along with new Autometer boost and electric fuel gauge (pillar pods) so I had removed the pillar and bottom dash panel. I decided to relocate my Scanmaster while I was at it and also fix a missaligned dash gauge frame. So while removing the gauge frame it some how got caught on the bottom of clear lens and snapped the bottom half of the speedo lens...cracked from the bottom left up across the trip reset and across to the right side...I am so frickin' pissed So where can I get a replacement gauge lens ?

thanks,
Scott

I brought Top Fuel racing to Isreal. And coined the phrase "Burning Down The Menorah".

I invented drifting. So Toyota could conform to the Americans With Disabilties Act.

I built this city with Rock and Roll. But I built this car with Dew and PopTarts.

3:10 to Yuma. 11.80 in the quarter mile.

I wanted to get pierced. So I bought Prince Albert in a can. Looks like this is going to take some time.

I just had to replace one, too. I broke one (same palce as you did. Let me guess, you forgot to remove the knob, too.) and thought I was gonna have to chew up some plastic and crap one out! Luck was on my side and I just ordered one and it came in about a week. WHEW! I figured it was unique to the TTA. Glad I was wrong.
