Put new bushings in my low mile leaf springs I acquired. A hole saw works pretty well instead of burning them out and smelling like burnt rubber. Also used my sawzall to cut the remaining shell out and then tap them out. All in all took me an hour surprisingly.

Very good idea on that bushings... i don't really know if i want to remove my LF springs or not... Hm.

Btw what did you use to clean up your Cluster Gauges, and circuit board + Everything else? Thx

I used a damp micro fiber cloth and lightly dabbed the faces to pick up dirt. The paint is real delicate so you can't wipe it or it will smear, this worked pretty well. My lense was pretty decent so I just washed in soap and water. I was going to buff it out otherwise. For the printed circuit, I cleaned up the contacts with mineral spirits and a q-tip. It worked okay but my original circuit was pretty bad so I used one out of my donor cluster and cleaned that up instead. For the needles I just used some needle paint I got on Amazon, was a tad too bright to be correct but it looks fine.
