97 Speedster Console Removal

[duckker]

I am trying to remove the console (dash cover) on my 97 Speedster in order to paint it. The hinge holding it on has a combination of rivets and bolts. Also the the wires for the tachs and speedo run to harnesses inside the console and the harnesses cannot fit through the grommets/holes in fiberglass. I am assuming that I will need to cut the wires. Can I get any advise on this? it is proving to be trickier than I expected.

Thanks in advance.

What part of the dash are you trying to remove? The hood? (the part that opens)

If you are... it will unbolt from the fiberglass.

As far as the wires... yes, you can cut them, but you can also buy a pin removal tool, and just remove the wires from the plugs, and snap them back in when you are done. I got one from eBay for about $10.

Thanks Doc,
Yeah, it is the part that opens. Thanks for the advice.
