I need help. Basically, I need to know if you guys (67-68 owners) had interference problems with your speedo/tach and the brace in the dash that supports the steering column, and if so, how did you deal with it.
Here's the back story.
A couple of years ago I bought a full set of Autometer in dash gauges and installed them onto the back of my original bezel. I wasn't happy with the way I had them attached and when they were in the car the bezel set just a little too far out away from the dash.
Now I've got everything the way I want it except for the bezel still doesn't want to go all the way back. It lacks maybe a 1/4 inch, but it bugs me. I even took the (Autometer gauges) bezel off the speedo and tach, so that the glass mounts right to the factory bezel.
If I lay my bezel face down on the table with the openings for the speedo and tach being flat on the table, the back of the gauges are 3 3/4" (4 3/4 with the light plugs) from the measuring surface.
Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to do this right this time around.
Thanks
