I am kooking to make my own dash, now when i took my old speedo surround off i noticed that the speedos are not flush with the dash, can any one tell me how to get around this? Not sure if it makes sence but ill give it a shot! cheers.

you remove the speedo from it's existing mounting and then fit it directly to the back of the dashboard!

but if you want it fitting flush with the dash you will have to trim down the plastic tubes on the housing for the indicator bulbs, at least i had to

also,be aware if you do this and your dash board is near verical you will limit your view of the gauges

as i did
