That could be reduced some I am sure, by trimming the mount, and using different mounting nuts, and electrical connectors. I modified the depth of the dash to make room. Mark Thanks.. I'm sure I can clear 3" and a bit more but I dont have a lot of room behind the dash on this L-body design... I was looking at a few of the speedos and liked the style of what you have.. most of the others I didnt care for... IF my junker doesnt fail in in the next couple of months I will spring for the speedo/gauge kit.. also.. I assume the sender came with it

There's 4 dzus fasteners around the front of the tunnel, and 2 on each side. There is a steel loop at the back with nuts welded to it for the shifter mount. Pretty easy to remove. Take the shifter off, 8 dzus fasteners, and slide it over out of the way. David
