Dash/Guage Question

Does anyone know if any companies makes the gauge holder and backplate (the tins behind the dash bezel) that will accommodate a full compliment of gauges? I'm adding a tach and a vacuum gauge to mine. I ordered everything I need, or so I thought. The holder and backplate will work for the tach but not the vacuum gauge and I can't find any companies that sell just those items. Or if someone has any ideas how I can make what I have work, I'd be interested in hearing those suggestions too. I appreciate it.

Re: Dash/Guage Question

I'd gladly buy it if you had an extra, Jaros44sr, if it's a little rusty. I can clean it up and repainted it. So I don't waste your time the most important one would be the holder. The one that is right up against the dash bezel and has the cut outs to view the gauges and slits to let light through. Thank you very much for looking.

Re: Dash/Guage Question

If you need any additional help, let me know. I have the tins you need for a tach/vac set up.

Take care,
Tom

Re: Dash/Guage Question

Any way you could add a pic, Jaros44?

After looking at some pictures, it looks like I might need both tins, how much for a set that would house all seven gauges, TBONE?

Re: Dash/Guage Question

Hey no worries Jaros. TBONE was able to hook me up. I ended up needing more parts than I originally thought. I hope all is well with you and everything is resolved in your favor.
