I believe I did a write up on here somewhere when I did mine years ago, but for now I took a few photos this morning to share.
I built the triple gauge bracket using 16 ga sheet metal and used the same hole spacing as the above dash knobs. Bought the three gauges (coolant/vacuum/oil pressure) off eBay and I found a couple of period correct gauges (batt & tach) at a swap meet for the original dash cluster. For the batt and tach gauges I had to cut the plastic blanks out of the dash insert using a hole saw.
(Not sure why my two interior photos uploaded upside down?)
