When you take your cluster apart you're going to find that some cutting was done to get that after market gauge in there. To go back with a factory gauge and have it look right that part will have to be replaced.

I'll see if I can find a pic of it for you.

I agree. You will need the backing plate that holds the 2 gauges. Check with byrd on that part. He is the gauge guru and should have that part for you.
