Default Rubber rings around the gauges

Anyone have the part numbers for the rubber gasket-type things behind the dashboard gauges? Mine are all dried out and ugly.

Thanks,

It comes out to $114 from pelican for all five! That's absurd, I'll give Sunset a call.

Can these things be stretched over the front to install or do you need to pull the gauges all the way out and disconnect them to get them on?

Gauges need to be removed. Remove steering wheel and top of steering column plastic shroud. Use cloth-covered flat screwdriver to remove tach. Stick hand in tach hole and push adjacent gauges out from behind. Remove leftmost and rightmost gauges same way. Installation reverse of removal.

Charlie,
Sunset sells them for around $10 each.

Most of these gaskets look 'dried out' in pictures I've seen. Mine looked the same when I purchased the car nearly three years ago. Some 303 on a cloth will make them look like new - w/o removing the gauges.

You do not need to remove the gauges at all, and less the steering wheel etc.
I have changed mine, very easy. Just pull out the gauges one by one an inch out.
You might better prepare the new rubber surrounds.
Take a water softened soap bar and smear soap on the rubber.
Insert the gauges with the new rubber. The soap will let them go in smoothly without pinching the rubber and makes aligning the gauges clockwise or anti so easy.
Wipe soap away, leftover soap will dry in half an hour.
regards

Insert the gauges with the new rubber and align the gauges horizontally.
Wipe soap away, leftover soap will dry in half an hour.

From the way the parts diagram showed it is seemed the gauges needed to be removed all the way. I'll try it your way...
