1968 HELP-Dash Cluster amp and fuel gauge

[whodat]

I have a question about the dash cluster. On the back where the amp gauge is there are 2 red plastic grommets to keep the post from touching the back of the panel. Did the fuel gauge have these? Mine does not and I am having problems with the gauge moving and touching the sides of the metal and grounding out. Causing my gauge to read empty.
Neil check your PM.

all guages are supposed to have those so they dont ground out,alot of the grommets were made of cardboard and most people throw them away during restorations not actually knowing they serve a purpose,all they are is insulators,check out STANGERSITE.COM

Actually rocketman the gauge rebuilder told me about those and said he would add them to my order since they are missing. I should recieve the converted amp gauge to volts and a recalibrated fuel gauge any day now.
