47-55.1 Suggestions on mounting gauges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have finally started on wiring. Went to mount the gauge clusters and found that the cases of the clusters hit the brake pedal mounting bracket that runs from fire wall to dash. Seems I would have to grind that bracket down to get the clusters in but that part of the bracket is pretty narrow already. Grinding thinner (and it would be a lot thinner) doesn't feel like a safe solution to me. Any suggestions?
