19th-21st Series Clipper Dashboard Service

Posted by Tim Cole On 2010/1/1 12:06:06

I am looking at a Clipper in which the ammeter has been damaged due to faulty repair work.

The first page of the Packard manual illustrates windshield removal. Curious that removing the windshield should be the first thing they talk about.

The dashboard on the Clipper is so difficult that I suspect the only way to properly service the instruments is to remove the windshield, then pull the dashboard away from the firewall and service the gauges through the windshield opening.

Anybody have experience with this problem?

Comments are appreciated.
