<VV> Re: ABS BRAKES AND SPYDER DASH

[N2VZD at aol.com]

run your dash lites , it should dry it out. the flat lense is glass (on all  
of mine anyhow). what i think happens is the plastic bubble in the gauge  
housing, over the bulb melts after having the wrong bulb in it (too big/hot) and  
lets the moisture in. I put voltmeters in place of head temp , and mini  
motometers in place of the boost gauge on mine.the gauges are shown in napa  
catalogs and elsewhere.
i recovered junk dashes with black wrinkle paint and so far i think they  
look good.
on abs brakes , the first time you stop in a straight line, in a pinch, on  
glare ice , instead of whacking something ,you will be glad you have them!. the 
 hard thing to do was to get used to just holding down the pedal down, not  
pumping it (too many different cars here at the time) on the abs cars only. 
they  have saved us more than once here in the snowy, icy  central ny area.
