1. Start off by taking out the ash tray, you'll see a screw holding down the gear stick surround, once it's off you can pop out the surround (dunno if there's anything extra involved for an auto. You'll need to unplug the alligator clips holding the cigarette lighter

2. Use a flat head screwdriver and wedge it in between the air con vents and the edge of the dashboard being very careful not to scratch anything, easiest to do it on the opoosite side of the hazard lights, gently pry the air con vents out until it comes loose, you need to unclip the hazard lights. Up to you if you want to take out the hazard switch for painting purposes, simply hold the clips together holding it in and slide the switch out.

3. The first 2 steps will reveal the screws holding in the air con unit and stereo, unscrew these and the aircon and stereo come out together on the same bracket. You can then unscrew the air con unit and take it out. Once that is done you can then unscrew the stereo surround and take it out.

4. now that these are out the last thing left will be the triple guage pods up top. When you take out the air con vents it will reveal the screws holding the pod in place. once the screws are off it's a simple case of sliding it forward and out to reveal the screws holding the guages in. The guages are a 1 piece setup so all you need to do is unscrew them at either end to remove.

5. Paint the parts to your heart's content then put them back into place in reverse order

1 primer should do it.

I only did the gear surround, ash tray, stereo surround and the side panels for the power windows and I only JUST got enough paint out of 1 can to do them all with the small pressure packs, so safe to say 2 would be needed.

I did the aircon unit, air con vents and guage pod in the darker paint and that used up about 3/4 of the can doing 4 coats of paint on all those panels.

dude, how did you get off the parts around the power window controls? they look good

The power windows and mirror switches can be taken out pretty easily, unclip them from the power wires first obviously,

the power windows switch has 3 screws that hold it in.

The power mirror switch has two sections you can squeeze together to make it pop out, you'll see what I mean when you do it

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
