Has anyone got any experience with this? I've been driving my son's 81 with the big tach and small clock, and the clock can hardly be read after dark, as the lighting is so dim. I replaced the bulb to no effect, and checked voltage at the connector (12.6V, a bit lower than battery, but not significant).

So, borrowing from instrument suggestions on the MGB board, I hope to pull the casing off the clock guts, and paint the interior of it with high-reflectance white paint. Has anyone disembowelled the little clock? (and got it back working again?) Thanks, all.
