Howdy folks,
I've already done an Autometer cluster conversion a few years ago by just sliding complete gauges (5" and 2-5/8") with intact bezels through the front of the original gauge panel, which I modified to fit. It looked OK for a while, but now I'm gonna mount them from behind a new panel, the right way.
The two DIY articles I've found so far have you screw the gauges in from behind after removing the bezel, but there's also an aftermarket plastic panel out there that's supposed to hold the gauges in from behind.
I want to do this the most professional way possible -- So, basically, once I remove the bezels and trim panel to get the gauges sitting nice, what's the best way to hold the gauges in place?
Thanks! Feel free to post links to articles -- I've searched this forum quite a bit before asking too.
