instrument cluster clips

Hi all
I've had my instrument cluster in and out a few times. when installing the clips (that the screws screw into) keep pushing off the tabs. I have after market clips like the org ones. I might have to bend the dash tabs back some so the cluster slides in without contacting the clips? Anybody have this problem? 61 dash by the way and I only want to do this one more time.

thanks for any info----------

Re: instrument cluster clips

I think you should be ok to bend the mounting tabs back a little bit. As the screw tightens up, it'll probably pull the tab back in some
