Autometer Assistance Request
I have purchased Auto Meter tach and speedo gauges for use with my 72 road racer and I am seeking any advice on the installation of these into my stock lower left dash pad. If you have done it, or know someone that has, I would appreciate connecting with them to see if they have adapter knowledge that I can use.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
David Howard

Hi David,
This thread should help. I did not have enough interest to get more made, only a set for myself.

How's the snow over your way?

Snow was brutal for this area. We received officially 31.9" of the white stuff and we are dealing with it a foot at a time. I am clear and mobile now which is better than many. Thanks for asking, we cope and await the warmer temperatures to arrive.

[QUOTE=corvette74;1591396905]Morning Dave, I'm doing the same thing on my 74. I had the adaptors made and I'm in the process off assembly. I can post pics latter today if you would like. The only problem I've encountered is the bezel is hitting the acrylic at the bottom. I think a gasket will make it fit.

Thank you Dale. I have printed out your pictures and will follow them. I have a friend that might be able to make the adapters for me. Another project, oh boy.
Thank you again though, I appreciate it.

I received the trim rings yesterday late from UPS. I will be sizing them today. Cannot wait to see how these look and work. Pictures when I get this done.
Thanks again.
David

They work perfectly, thank you. I want to build another set of them so I have them for a future project. Thank you again for this, I really appreciate it.

Hey Richard,
I never professed to being a good photographer and I only put the rings on for a quick few shots, then removed them to make another set. Here they are from the front. I have new lenses for these carriers and I have a stunning lower left dash pad to mount these into, but not today. I have a couple of things taking priority right now with the sale of the 72 coupe, but I will be back on this soon.
Thanks again and best regards,
David
