Re: My 86 build

How are you installing these into your dash? Do they fit sandwich the holes, or are you glueing a bracket on the back of the dash.....

I had to cut some of the plastic off the back of the holes with a cut-off wheel so the guage would fit in the hole,(2 1/16") then slide the bracket thats included on and tighten the jam nuts.....

JMO but I would bring the flames back or something that style when you get ready. That was a really unique look. I liked it!
