Was curious to see if anyone had ran into this problem. I'm restoring a 53 chevy 3100 and I bought a 12 volt gas gauge to replace the 6 volt in my dash. I bought the gauge from classic truck parts. When I tried to install it in the gauge cluster the replacement sets up higher than the original so it hits the glass bezel. The needle can't move freely because of this. Is there a fix for this or do I need to try buying from a different manufacturer? Thanks for your help.
