Quick question for Everyone

[b00sted]

First off Merry Christmas to everyone. I am about to start the task of pulling the speedo and gauge cluster out of my 49. Anyone have a photo of the back of therir gauge set so I can see how these are held in? I am upgrading them to the autometer set.

there are 4 3/8" nuts at 10,2,4 and 8 o clock on each gauge. I use a 1/4" drive deep socket to break the nuts loose then take them off with the socket in my palm, the nuts fall into the socket. its pretty easy to get them out from the bottom, if you want it to be really easy and dont want to lay on your back, pull the speaker cover and you can reach the speedo from there, then you can reach the quad gauge from the speedo hole

you can kind of see the stands for the studs here


and this is the gauge showing the mounting

I love that hand drawn speedo. Nice touch!
