6. Drill the scribe marks on the gauges with the
7. The speedometer and tachometer holes in the dash are designed to work for two different size
gauges. You will see a fine laser cut dashed line surrounding the cut out. These lines are at the
diameter necessary for the Mustang gauges, as well as Smith, and Autometer Vintage gauges. To
achieve the larger hole diameter, simply use tin snips to cut between the inside hole and the laser
cut line on each side of the dashed marks, then take pliers and bend the remaining tab back and
forth until it snaps off.
8. Counter sink the gauge mounting holes in the dash. To do this take one of the 1.5" long Philips
head screws included in the kit, and use a drill to screw the screws into all of the gauge mounting
holes from the front side of the dash. Next take the included 2" long steel tube and place it on a
hard surface, then one by one set each screw into the center of the spacer and give the screw a few
light taps with a hammer to countersink each hole as shown. There are multiple gauge mounting
holes for the different years, so there will be some unused holes in the dash, which will be covered
by the padded dash.
9. Install the large gauges with the taller spacers and the smaller gauges with the shorter spacers that
are included with the kit so that the faces of the gauges stand away from the back face of the
aluminum dash panel. This distance has been pre-set at the factory so that the sweep hands of each
gauge fit. It is also a good idea to counter sink the spacers to match the countersunk holes for a
good fit and so they lay flat against the dash.
