Speedhut gauges in stock gauge cluster
I ordered a set of Speedhut gauges and planned to use the stock gauge cluster to mount the speedo and tach. I ordered Speedhut's 5" trim rings thinking they'd be plug and play and a straightforward way to install their gauges in the stock cluster...not quite.
The trim rings were larger than the cluster's opening diameter. Speedhut gauges mount with a threaded ring, not like Autometer gauges that use a bracket. So, I came up with the following to center the trim rings in the stock cluster opening and allow the Speedhut gauge mounting ring to thread on. Seems stout enough, time will tell.
Cut, bent, drilled, tapped, countersunk, and threaded some aluminum stock I had for the upper mounts.
Cut, bent and slotted some steel sheet stock I had for the upper retainers.
Epoxied the mounts to the cluster.
