Pressure gauge strap
If I secure this bracket one way, there's no room to install the wires or the oil tube. If I flip around, the gear shift smashes into it.
What a I missing? |

Re: Pressure gauge strap
I use the same bracket for my water temp.
You want the "wings" be sweep back, your shifter should not come close to hitting the gauge, is your shifter bent?

Re: Pressure gauge strap
I Use A Different Bracket That I Bought At a Swap Meet A Few Years Back. It's Chrome Holds Two Gauges And Bolts To The Sterring Column, It Works Great !!!!

A buddy of mine has the 2-gang bracket on his early 30 Tudor (oval speedo). His bracket points straight down to the floor. It doesn't angle out like mine. And even at that, he only has about 1/8" to spare before he'll hit the bracket in reverse or 2nd gear. He may also have the less angled shift lever. Unless I change the lever, that bracket is worthless. Thanks for all of the input. Leo |

Re: Pressure gauge strap
Well, according to my son's fancy calculator and my crude side-angle-side measurements, I have a shifter with 15.9 degrees of slope. So it appears I have a 28-29 gear shift in my 30.

Re: Pressure gauge strap
Re the lever, that would be my suggestion also after bashing my fingers because and earlier shift lever was installed in a later car, they are bent different.
