Trip Odometer Problem

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

Bruce,
       Based on your suggestion, I just messed with the instrument pod on my 
wife's 91 spider.  Seeing no screws and with the large knee bolster 
underneath, I had hesitated in the past.  Tonight, I just pressed around the 
outside of the plastic trim ring and it came off rather easily.  There appear 
to be four screws holding the instruments in place.  I will finish the job 
tomorrow.
       I have found the late single pod instruments to be less than reliable. 
 The trip odometer on my 91 Spider Veloce does not work, the tachometers on 
both 91 spiders read way low and the regular odometer on my old 87 Spider did 
not work although the trip odo did work.  I suspect they just want there 
internal parts massaged and caressed, so thanks Bruce for getting me started 
on the project.

Ciao,
Russ Neely
