64 Coupe Gauge Cluster
On my gauge cluster at the bottom, where the (3) vent cables and headlight motor switch mount, the mounting screws do not screw directly into the gauge cluster. What are the name of the clips called that attach the vent cable to gauge cluster? Does anyone have any pictures and where can I purchase them?

You might be able to use these...Part #252177, or #342047, or these would be better..#282036 you can probably get them a NAPA

If you are looking for the clip with the nut attached that accept machine screws they are either called 'clip nuts' or 'J' clips.
Check out a local body supply store.

I believe that only the headlight rollover switch uses those clips. The vent cables screw directly to the dash. But if the holes are buggerd you could use those clips. Do you have a Rona nearby? Mine has a good selection of stuff like that.

The headlight rollover switch installation is shown in UPC 12, sheet B4.00, items 4-5-6; the switch ears go ABOVE the bottom flange of the cluster, and item #4 is a flat #8 Tinnerman nut.

I think Bubba had previously messed with the cluster. I cannot screw the vent cables directly to the cluster, the holes are oversize. Thank you for the information John. I'm into a hunt for a good assembly manual now.
