The tab on my temp gauge lays right over the tach and the tab on the gas gauge lays left over the speedo. The instructions say to not bend the tabs but I don't see any other way to do it. I'm thinking to bend the tabs on the temp and gas gauges to go under the tach and speedo. I sure could use some help with this. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the HVAC panel apart. RawBurt says to pull radio and remove the 4 screws under the radio--I don't have any to remove.

RawBurt, I appreciate your how-to but perhaps someone could be a little clearer and please have some pictures. TIA



On my gauges I actually slightly bent 1 or 2 of the connectors, not a lot but just enough. It DOES cause the gauge face to bow up a little bit, but mine have been n since saturday and have givin me no problems. I suggest if you must bend them, not to make it an extreme bend, and dont bend them back and forth. thats def. not a good thing!



Did you bend the ones I was talking about? The temp gauge and the gas gauge? Any thoughts on the HVAC? I'm about ready to take a hammer to it.



The tack and speedo have a little bit of room under them where the tabs from the other gauges lay. I had to bend mine down just enough to fit under the face of the gauge. I didnt go crazy and bend a 90 degree angle.
