I got a decent amount accomplished over the weekend.

The headers are installed. It's tight, but I finally persuaded everything to fit with a BFH. Installed the clutch Z bar, oil pressure sender, heater hose fittings, coolant overflow tank.

Started the fab on my seat brackets. I need to lower the seat some more. I think I can gain about 1/2". A tilt column would be nice to raise the steering wheel just a bit as well. May be added in the future.

I got the trunk painted. Added the starter solenoid, battery cut off, fuel pump relay and circuit breaker to the battery mount.

Made a bracket to mount the fuel pump.

Default 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.

Gauges are now centered and seem solid.

On to the next task that should take 10 minutes, but actually takes hours...

I remember having to make a backplate for my speedhut gauges also.

Wish I would have put the fuel gauge in like you did,it would have freed up a spit in my consol.

Looks good.
