This is the cluster bezel that I planned to use. Only problem is the new electrical gauges are longer than the mechanical ones that were in the car when I bought it. They hit the shift indicator. Couldnt get around it since I have a bench seat. View attachment 82150

I was thinking of something added on somewhere, too bad they didn't work for you there.

Quick question for you. Do you know what brand mount you used ? It looks like theres a half dozen different brands on ebay. Did it look like the one you posted the picture of that was on ebay ? Where you have to cut the front pieces out on both sides ?
And where did you buy the rings ? Are they Autometer ?

I don't remember the brand but it looked liked this one and yes the angled rings are from Autometer.

So you had to cut the pieces out on both sides of the opening ? I just want to make sure Im getting the exact same one. They have a few without those pieces.

If you are going to install three 2-1/16 gauges you will be opening the front for clearance basically leaving the corners intact so you can use Rivnuts or screws in the corners.

Im sure I can get the gauges and the mount in right I just want to know if the one you used is the one you posted a picture of. Theres at least 3, maybe 4 different variations on ebay. I'd like to get the exact one/brand you used.

I don't know who the vendor was but it looks like the one I posted, I bought it before I had my Regal my original plan was to move the radio down and put the gauges where the radio was like I did in my Monte but I came up with this idea once I got my Regal trying to keep it a little more stock looking interior wise.

Where is the *rg*sm gauge?

I use the pedal on the lower right for that instead of a gauge.
