I've taken it out of the parts car, but it looks somewhat sunken on the driver's side. I notice the one on my driver car is too, but I don't think it is as bad. Hard to tell. Is this normal? If not, has anyone tried to straighten it somehow (seems unlikely to me).
and from the other side
compare with the passenger side
By the way, I'm putting this Canuck speedo in to replace my California one. It'll be easier to see what speed I'm going, and now I can travel up to 220 km per hour (136 mph)

Re: Sunken Dash
The heat and UV kills 'em all after a couple of decades. Maybe try an electric heat gun. You've got nothing to lose, since it's likely you're going to put a cap on it ultimately. If you're forced to go that route, glue foam sheeting in the depression to keep the cap from fluttering.
Re: Sunken Dash
wowzers !! 220 ??
my speedo only goes to 140, and that was after i changed it from an 85 model
oh.... wait .... you said Canuck. that explains everything. still, if i had one-0-those, could i go faster?
