<VV> Spyder gauge lenses, plastic or?

[Dan & Synde]

Hi JR,

The three smaller gauges have plastic lenses, the tach and speedo however
are glass.  Probably was done that way because it is easier to cast numbers
and lines in plastic which, if you take a look, are indeed cast into the
lenses for the smaller gauges.  

I get the condensation quite often in cold weather too in our Brier which I
put the Spyder cluster in.  To dry it out, just turn on the instument
lights, built in defroster!!

Later,
