fuel gage
My right fuel quanitiy needs re-calibration/repair as it's reading 1/4 high on both aux and mains. I've had the sender repaired etc so now it's a gage problem. I can't get to the 2 outboard screws/nuts to remove the cluster and i can't get to the back of the back of the gage by going under the glarshied. Help ? The maint/parts manual are not help.bernie

Re: fuel gage
We do have the ashby glare shield so that makes access fairly easy. I also have to remove the rpm and manifold gauge. It's a bit tight, but very doable. Hope that helps

Re: fuel gage
THE CLUSTERS OUTBOARD NUTS. REMOVING THE MAP/ RPM GAGE DOESN'T HELP.
HOWS IS THE GAGE HELD INTO THE CLUSTER ? A HANDHOLD ABOVE THE GAGE WOULD ALLOW ACCESS BUT THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM FOR A 90 DEGREE SCREWDRIVER AND THE WINDSCREEN TO GET IT OUT. THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE BERNIE

Re: fuel gage
Here is a picture of the back of the cluster, you can see that there is enough room to get a socket and extension onto the far screws.
