gauges/'85lwb

I've had several Chevy/GMC trucks in my life,and I've noticed that the gauges like to stop working,at times,and if you tap the front,they work,again!
This is irritating as all get out,and I think I,ve found the reason. The contact clips,where the gauges attach,get weak,and lose contact. I cured mine,by pulling the cluster,and putting tension on them,with small o-rings,over the 2 prongs that the gauge pins slide through.
