I got my new circuit board today from NPD for my '69 sportsroof (non-tach/non-A/C). It has a note on it stating to make sure the temp/gas gauges are not grounded on the case and that a piece of card board should be positioned just right over the gauge posts before attaching the circuit board. My dash had 2 cardboard strips across the the posts (each strip attaches to 2 posts). Is this enough, or should I fabricate a new one, "blocking off" the entire dash area, instead of leaving the center exposed like original?
On a related question. It appears that the '69 bulbs just snap into the dash and don't need any wires running to them, as they appear to get both the power and ground from the circuit board. Am I correct here? Where do I get the bulbs. I looked in the NPD catalog and they erroneously list the same dash bulbs for '65-'73.
Last question ... beside each of the light sockets there's either a screw hole or a threaded post. Are the lighst secured by a screw or nut?
Thanks in advance. My dash was destroyed when I bought it, had no lights in it, fried beyond believe circuit board, and appears to also be missing many screws/nuts (and I really don't want to take apart my '69 coupe to see how it works if someone can point me in the right direction without having to do so).
