center vent install help

[marntson]

i just got the center vent dual gauge mount and have everything ready to go for the install. just one question.

in order for my gauges to sit flush to the mounting plate i have to trim the plastic inside the dash. the way it looks to me i will have to completly remove the screw mounts inside the dash in order for my gauges to sit right. it seems to me that if i do this the entire top of the trim piece will be hanging loose and would wobble around alot.

so i am taking a break from that project before i cut some stuff that im not supposed to and end up having to replace unnecessary pieces.

i hope you guys have some advice on this. i know i am not the first one to do this install, but i wasnt able to find anything useful using the search button. thanks.

I put one of those in my car. Had to trim out both screws and alot of the plastic. I didn't flop around too bad. What I have done now is I drilled two holes kinda by where the screws used to be and ran a zip tie to hold it together.
