5" Atuometer Tach/Speedo Install Template

This should aid people who would like to install 5" in dash Autometer gages into a factory dash (I used a 76 dash as my refrence). There are 4 extra holes in which you can wire up led's for the turn signal and high beam indicators.
To print the pdf to scale you will need to make sure to uncheck the box in acrobat that says "fit to page". If you print it and there is a black line around the print then you will not have a to scale print. Verify this by measureing the print before glueing it to the part to be cut.
To cut it out of the metal glue it with a spary adhesive (like 3m's spray adhesive in the black can). Then just cut to the lines and drill the holes on the cross hairs.
I used .080" aluminum sheet metal but just about any type of sheet metal will work.
Well I hope this will aid some of you in your attempts to do this intsall.
Here's a pic of the gages installed
