I can't tell you how many, but there are two distinct sizes.  One size is 
the usually small one used by most spits and there is also a really small 
one in the illuminated ledgends I think.  Unfortunately I have the same 
cold weather problem.

NEWS... I looked in my docs and it looks like a 74 has all the larger size 
(glb987), only the late spits had the big and small 
(apparently).  Unfortunately it does not say how many, but one for each 
instrument plus one for each illuminated legend plus one for each indicator 
if the 74 has the brake light instead of the illuminated legend.  Sorry I 
can't be more specific.
