1968 PART CONFUSION???

[Myles M]

I am doing a full overhaul of my 68 cadillac coupe deville and after taking the dash apart...cleaning everything...and proceeding to put it back together...I realised that a part I took apart doesnt seem to go anywhere...

it is CLEAR plastic...(the whole piece)
it is in the shape of a J with a small hook type lip...
it has a notch towards the hook end...
and the numbers on it are: 6458etc

any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

thanks in advance

ps I can post pictures if needed...

Post a picture, maybe I can help as Ive had the dash completely apart many times in my now defunct 68 convertible apart .

I have attached a link so that you can see the part I am talking about.
(it was the only way I could attach multiple pictures!)

To view that correctly you will need to copy and paste the link in your address bar.  Highlight the text of the link.  Then hit CTRL C to copy it.  Then in your address bar paste the link by clicking in the line then hitting CTRL V.

PS - Looks like a piece of clear plastic shaped like a J to me but Ive never owned a 68.

That part goes behind & above the speedometer needle & distributes lite evenly back there. Bob

Dear Bob,

I cant thank you enough for the help. Would have been a huge pain, if you hadnt taken the time.

Best regards,
