Using glove box door for gauge cluster

I saw a thread on this before, but I've been searching for 2 hours for the thread with no luck.


Simple question: Got info on using a glovebox door for gauges?

As many of you know, our trucks were designed to be easily converted from LHD to RHD for sales overseas where the steering wheel may need to switch sides.

With that in mind, it just so happens that the glove box door fits over the gauge cluster really well.

I have a couple of spares laying around and I'm tinkering with gauge setups like the one pictured below. I want to know:

* Anyone done or seen this done in person?
* Anyone have tips on how to pull this off?

I'm not sure how the person who made the one below attached the gauge cluster to the dash. I thought they might have welded threaded studs to the back side of the cluster, but that would be a pain in the ass to fasten the top two screws.

Just looking for ideas. 10,000+ brains are better than one.

I can't check the forum daily. If I don't reply to you within 24 hours, drop me a PM! I'm (hopefully) still alive and will reply faster to a PM.
