Griffith Dashboard

[dwp]

Is there anyway to remove the speedometer from a Griffith 500 without removing the whole dashboard?
Thanks very much.

Hi
No the dash has to be dropped forward but that is not a hard job , remove the cowling around the steering wheel.
disconnect your battery
remove your stereo
put your hand carefully in the stereo space on the left hand side find the bracket and nut and release.
remove the two black self tappers from the dash around by the steering column
put a bit of vaseline on the leather and gently ease the dash towards you it should come quite easily
good luck
Steve

Cheers guys. I've got the old stuck odometer as lots of 9s appear.

have you tried continually resetting the trip recorder in a 'forceful' manner , it got my stuck odometer going after about 40 miles of driving about aggressively resetting , it may just roll over after a couple of hundred miles or has it gone past this already?

before you take dash out its worth trying to jack up the rear of car and put on axle stands safely and try running the car in gear, a few blips of the throttle will generate acceleration faster than you will on the road and this sometimes trips the odometre over sTeVeR

Anyone else have visions of Ferris Bueller

Gutted that these Griffith Pages don't seem to exist anymore.

Hi EddieJT,

The Griffith Pages have survived in the form below:

There doesn’t seem to be any information on changing the dash, but plenty of other informative stuff. What do you need to know?

Removing the wheel from the steering boss is easy and gives more wriggle room. Lay a towel down for extra protection.
