65 Dart Instrument Voltage Regulator Tips

I saw in another thread your post about drilling a hole in the side, I thought about trying it but I ended up deciding to just drill out one rivet so that now the face plate can swivel off, and I'll probably replace that rivet with a small screw or something so that I can get back in there if/when the IVR fails.

It seems like the pins on my circuit board were fine, it just had no ground to the lights for the illumination, but did have ground to the indicator lights. A couple wires and it's all sorted out now. I did buy new wedge style sockets in order to eventually swap to LED bulbs, and saw a thread where slantsixdan recommended certain LED bulbs. I'll get to that eventually, for now I just want to get the thing driveable.
