Speedo And Tach Housing Disassembly

[The Lone Rider]

So speedo stopped working and pulled bits apart to test everything and fault find (broken cable turns out) and got the idea that why not make custom face plates for my tach and speedo.

Problem is I can't see anyway to open the thing up (which I can understand - to prevent winding back) and pull the plates out to scan them. Any ideas? VF750c housings as shown in the photo.

Ta for any ideas.

Scratch it, got it open - tricky bugger.

Now to make the new plates, get them printed and get it back together before 3pm tommorrow (or pray my car is working)
