Bit far away for me

However, if you want me to grimace, suck air through my teeth and say "ohh, that'll cost you" from the other end of the internet, then just let me know.

Best of luck!

When replacing that on a Carlton in the past I found it a straight forward job, although a lengthy one as I had to strip the whole dash / facia assembly out back to the bulkhead.  Very interesting to do, but I thought at the time I wish I could avoid it all!!

But, I know some on the OOF have perfected a great, relatively simple method of extracting and replacing the matrix on Omega's without stripping the facia out :y :y :y

Perhaps they can give you some guidence on here? :-/ :-/

I have found these pictures that were shown on the OOF at the time of a member doing the matrix using the shortcut method by cutting a very small section of the lower facia.  Hope they help:
