Tach/speedo mounting was created by motomike33y

What is the secret to routing the light wiring under the tach/speedo to allow me to fasten washer/pins?  Just more compression of wire?  Seems to angle speedo/tach and make difficult to get pins fastened. 71 ct1

Here are photos of mine.

I cheated/gave up on the tacho and routed them round the outside of the bracket (first two photos). Speedo one was ok (third photo).

Tiny fingers and thick calluses on the ends of your thumbs helps too!

I finally succeeded by using a 1/4” aluminum strapping and two wood clamps so that I could tighten and compress the rubber to allow the pins in. I also cut the rubber trim to allow the tach wires to fit underneath
