Slot these 3 holes.

Looks good, I will put mine back together and check the gauge center alignment. When I designed the plate I went off the needle center and combined the hole patterns so It SHOULD be exacttly where the original speedo needle was. The problem with slotting the mounting holes is I would have to slot most of the holes and then it would be less rigid. I made it pretty thick to make sure it was rigid. If there is an alignment issue I will fix it and replace them all. There is a (very) small chance that there was some drift when those were punched on the old turret press. I checked the plates I have at home with my template and they are all dead on. If mine is properly aligned and yours is not I can replace yours or make a special plate and offset the holes for you.
To others: I know several are waiting on me to finish boxes and I have yet to finish them. I have been swamped at work with our new machinery and filling engineer requests. I will try to get them done asap, hopefully the big guys leave me alone today so I can work on them
