Rallye dash autometer gauge swap
After that it was time to tackle the mounting brackets for both the quad gauge and tachometer. There were many ways to skin the cat here, I could have gotten away with less or even done more if wanted. But these brackets are what I ended up making.
The quad gauge bracket requires two holes drilled with the upper hole being tapped into the cluster frame to accommodate a short pan head screw. I ended up using 10-32 screws. On the bottom mounting point I used a backing nut on the screw because there wasn’t a lot of aluminum to cut threads into.
While the tachometers mounting brackets utilize four of the printed circuit boards fasteners and two gauge face mounting studs one being it’s ground stud (you have to disassemble and remove the tachs rear mounting cup).
Once the brackets were completed I painted them with some leftover semi gloss black engine enamel that I had laying around and installed the gauges into the cluster frame.
Bracket measurements will be below this post. Add an 1/8 inch per side of the quad gauge mounting bracket if you want to add the reinforcement edges.
