[QUOTE="Totalled, post: 1542905, member: 16125"] Today was frustrating. No one in town had rear wheel bearings in stock. The repro muffler hangers had the holes 1/2" too far apart. Not sure if they changed in '73 or if it's a repro thing.. There definitely was a repro thing with the replacement center gauge bezel. The holes were too far apart for the cargo pocket, to narrow for the map light, and the pedestals for the gauge mounting screws were different heights.. I assembled the cluster today. I previously trimmed the side shielding from the gauges to allow more light on them to make them brighter.
