New gauge cluster help needed
 
Hey guys. I bought a new gauge cluster housing from lmc for my 87 r10. All of the gauges transferred over perfectly. Even the printed circuit board. Unfortunately, the new cluster doesn't seem to fit back into the dash opening. Anybody have any hints or pointers on what to do? The cluster just seems to be a little too big to fit. But according to lmc it should definitely fit. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Try sliding the bottom in first and then the top, or the other way around. I know I had a heck of a time figuring that out myself, I kept try to put it in and it seemed just a hair to wide.

I will keep giving it a shot. That's exactly what I am running in to. Just seems too big to fit. Ivan sure there is that one perfect angle that makes it slide right in. Hopefully I can figure it out. Lol.

Every cluster that I've removed and reinstated have been tight to get in and out.

After looking at it some more, the new one from lmc is just too big and there is no way it I going to fit. Why I don't know but it's not even close. Hopefully I can find another one that will work.
