Hi Terry

 

You should be able to access behind the dash okay from beneath. You have to be a Contortionist as usual. There should be two thumbscrews (nuts) I believe and then a bracket comes off holding the guage in. You don't need to remove the wooden dash, but before removing the wiring remember to disconnect the battery.

 

Regards

After disconnecting battery.

1. Remove drivers seat

2. Remove ashtray

3. Remove Radio

4. Remove Glove Box

 

Terminals on rear of ammeter have a habit of corroding, remove with care taking note of other wires connected and earth loops. Check fibre insulator fitted between terminals, if broken and no spares avail this can be repaired with araldite or similar epoxy. Clean connections thoroughly these carry high current.

thanks for your replies guys and happy to say job done,...problem was a bad connection where the grey wire plugs into the back of the meter............happy now that the car turns over /starts and runs well and shows a good charge to the battery.......all electrics also working ok,...I am happy as Larry now.

 

once again thank you for the tips,...terry
