still working on finishing up the back. right now i've just got a bunch of hot glue holding them in place. since hotglue wont ruin anything

looking to fab up some metal strips and epoxy them to the bezel to hold the gauges in place.

though the hotglue IS holding very very well. as in i cant pull the gauges off if i wanted to.

Re: Project: Autometer
I was looking into do this and I like the sport comp gauges, so I was just wondering which would be better to use the 2 1/16 gauges or the 2 5/8

Re: Project: Autometer
Eric, I can't remeber the landscape on the back of my cluster, but if there is a place to maybe use flat screws instead of epoxy to mount your strips, I would go that route. Would make it alot easier to remove later if you need too. Looking good!

i ended up just using hot glue alone. it is very very secure and i have no doubt that it will stay in place.

and no pics of the back. i decided to go ahead and install it
