Default Instrument problem

The membrane covering one or two of the warning lights on the dial immediately to the left of the tacho have started to peel away slightly.

It doesn't affect the operation of the lights, but if it gets any worse it will start to look ugly.

Can I get a replacement dial or is there anything I can do to repair the existing one?

As a temporary solution you could take an exacto knife and cut the blackish brown paint that sits over the warning lights. That will prevent it from peeling any further.

You can send it to North Hollywood Speedometer for repair.

Common problem on 964's!

It is sometimes cheaper to buy a new instrument. New they are expensive, but I bought a replacement oil temp/pressure gauge from ebay for £30 and it was like new.
