Since I mounted the Hellas and will be puting another switch (THAT GRASSHOPPER IS SENDING... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)) in the location left of the wheel, that only left one place for the fuel gauge...
This is one of Dave's radio plates with a 2" tail pipe piece ($2.00 at your FLAPS) stretched. Bring your 2 1/16th gauge with you and they can stretch it on the spot. Hacksaw in the vise at a "guesstimated" angle (probably why they call it a "hack" saw). Weld to the plate. Use the weld marks on the back to do a rough cut out and grind away the rest. I used a cut-off wheel to gingerly remove the welds on the front as there were some tight places to get into. The cut-off wheel can be your friend but you must be delicate and know where it's going and how it works. I think I'll get with Morph and get enough dash material to cover everything and away we go... Attached image(s)
