Title: Mouse damage to instrument cluster/parts availability
Post by: Oliver 1850 on November 21, 2018, 12:40:48 PM

Mice nested on top of my '78 C10 gauge panel and urine has ruined some of the copper leads in the printed circuit and some of the steel clips that contact gauge terminals.  Are these parts available anywhere?

Yah, welcome. But first kill every single mouse on your property. Then install the new parts. Don't tell Irish though, he loves animals. Lol   (mice can be a square's worst nightmare, if not dealt with)

Cookies? Thats grounds for termination for sure!! Sometimes the trap is many yards away from where i set it. Usually signs of a struggle! Lol
