After spending 3 hours looking and cursing at the problem, and having no response from this forum, I called the fine people at CASCO on there tech line. I told my sad song to the fine folks and was advised that the BEST way to remove the instruments was to remove the ENTIRE dash.
I was at first dumbfounded. After a few momemts of sinlence the fine folks at CASCO told me that it was the best and EASEST way to get the instruments out of my bird. They guided me step by step and and with only one more call back to make sure I was on the right track the entire dash was out in less time than was spent in the beginning.
The dash was stubborn at first from staying in the car for over 40 years but she let loose after a tug or two.
I can now work on all the instruments. replace the vacume wiper motor with electric. and replace the heater core with ease. Not to mention tidying up the interior with ease.
Thanks for all who looked. I hope this info helps someone else.
