Needed to get the gauges mocked up into place before I put them together. Since the two gauges (factory and LaSalle) have differently clocked mounting brackets, I needed to figure this out. Instead of making some round steel brackets, I thought about what would be out there that I could already use. I ran over and saw my friend Larry at the local transmission shop and told him what I needed and he told me to look in the back room. I grabbed a couple of old, wore out steels that are part of the clutch from an automatic. Perfect!
I then chopped them up with my angle grinder and and bolted them to the original location in the dash. I then set the new gauges up there, marked the holes and drilled them to line up with the old gauges
Here they are ready to be finished and bolted in for good!
