68 Dart damaged instrument cluster circuit board
Hi All... greetings from Oz!
I removed my 68 Dart instrument cluster today, with much pain endured, and when I finally got it out, I discovered I had damaged one of circuit boards, specifically snapped 3 of the 4 pins where one of the plugs connect.
Is it possible to repair these items, or do I have to shell out for a new board (I note CI sell them, so easy enough to get one)
The pins themselves seem soooo fragile, I can't believe I didn't snap any on the other board!
Also, in image 2, it shows a metal contraption that seems wired to a "condensor" and plugged directly into the circuit board; is this literally a pull out and push back in item?
While I have the cluster out, I'd be interested in feedback regarding swapping out the globes with LEDs too... But I would want to keep it looking original light colour, not cold/bright colour temperature as some LEDs are...
Please see pics attached of my handy work... look forward to any feedback, thanks
