Thanks,
Look at the photo (#14) on this thread. You will see the back side of the cluster shown. I made my own plate out of .035" sheet metal and drill two small holes in it and the clock. The outer edge is the same shape as the factory tin work. I used two of the small screws that hold the small gauge tins to the big gauge tins. That way it looks somewhat factory. The 55/56 chevy clocks use a larger bulb socket for the illumination just so you know.

My advise is to get yourself a junk cluster to mock up before you work on a good one. The hole in the lens is critical and using a junk lens will help you in pin pointing the exact location.

Have fun and good luck.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
