Ralley Restoration

[71droptop]

Took the cluster lense cover off and started to clean things up. Q tip and a little alcohol to remove some dust.
Cleaned the lense- both sides.
Got into the wood grain and not sure how to proceed with the trim rings around each pod.
Also the front aluminum looks to be glued to a back plate.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Got this info from scrolling down to "Similar threads".

Adhesive for wood grain

Does anyone like a particular chemical something they have had good luck with for bonding the wood grain aluminum to the metal plate that finishes off the rally cluster the 3M spray adhesive did not seem to work came loose after just a few months sitting inside the house almost like it...

Basically there are 3 choices-

If your trim rings around the gauges are in good shape you can go with new woodgrain overlays from DMT-
Mopar E Body 70-71 Rally Dash Overlay 4 HOLE, WALNUT WOODGRAIN (with Switch Labels)

The repop sets with the metal backings widely available on the market have the brown surround color really wrong, you can spot these a mile away-

Performance Car Graphics, now owned by Instrument Specialties was always the go-to for the best reproduction - unfortunately after the passing of the original owner there is apparently only a very limited supply of these left and only in 4-hole rear defog or convertible configurations, they're all sold out of the 3 hole panels.

I had just sent my rallye gauge cluster out for a full resto and had to replace my gauge bezels because the trim rings were in pretty bad shape. I have a car with rear defog and I was already in deep so I went with the set from Performance Car Graphics. Really nice, not cheap but what is on these cars anymore.

Thank you for your reply. You are absolutely right about the brown bezels being off color.
