Default My S2 gauges have Torx bolts keeping it all together. I'm not 100% sure it is the same as the typ 89

but I'm sure they are.

Default Well..not really...

torx bolts you are refering to are holding the gauge faces in place, what I am asking is how to pry the glass off the gauge itself to get to those 2 little bolts. by the way th eones on typ89 are flat head style. get it?

Default Take a look at what I got.

Could be different. The last time I saw the back of my stock gauges, it was when I put in my short shift kit, a long time ago.

If you can't tell, it has one piece of plastic, not glass, over all the faces.

Default Thats totaly different

these are all separate units, they bolt to a frame in a back and the the wood trim goes on top. Each gauge is separate unit with a glass on top that is "sealed" to the unit itself...i don't feel like taking pic now but it doesn't matter, you can't really help anyways.

I pried the bezels off (the metal SHOULD wrap around the plastic, which you can pry outward from the plastic), then the plastic(?) lens falls out. I'll look to see if I still have the directions (they were in an email)...Its been years, so who knows if I still do or not?

Default Re: cuatrocoop....how the hell did you open them aux gaues???

from the "way back machine"...

Part numbers for the faces I have, courtesy of a certain AW'er and 20v'er:

"I only have the 1999 D&amp;W, but the 220 kph faces are Nr 273318 the 260 kph are Nr 274718"

Couldn't find the instructions unfortunately...
