Saskwatch Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I’ve just been doing this myself on a 48 D25 The light switch knob is held on with a spring clip, I wiggled a small wire behind the knob to release , then just pulls off. All the rest of the knobs - choke, throttle, are fastened from behind the dash with a nut & lockwasher, they are what’s holding your speedometer cluster to the dash,( them & the high beam indicator). Remove the nut & lockwasher & remove cable & all towards you through the dash...... it used to be fun getting back there back in the day, now? ... not so much ?

1949 Wraith Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Some of the knobs that have a slit require you to push a thin blade screw driver to release pressure on the spring. Do so while putting on the knob and they slide off. Installation is just a push on.. A few knobs of the era had tiny allen key screws as well.

That's an odd way to spell "impossible". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
