I am getting ready to replace an instrument cluster in my 1963 Volvo 122 and hope you all can help with some questions.

1) The replacement is from a 1967 122. Is there any difference beside the chrome front piece? It seems like I can just snap that off.

2) The paint/coating is peeling even from my replacement. I plan to take the rest of the dark gray coating off. Brass is underneath. Anybody have success chroming where the brass shows? I think that would look great. A good/bad idea?

3) I have heard it is not an easy job. I am fairly thin and agile if that will help. What are tips you have in making the most efficient swap? How many hours should I plan? Does Haynes have good instructions for removal/replacement?

Thanks for your help!
