I finished putting my new 68 ralley dash together and noticed the bottom of the new lenses wanting to fall inward and resting on the gauges. I am wondering how you all are dealing with this and does anyone have a good solution for this problem.
Thanks
 
If they’re not clocked correctly, they will not stay flushed against the plastic dash and the mounting brackets.

Did you use a soldering iron to put them back together?

I used a soldering iron and then also mixed up some clear epoxy to mount everything back together.

When I did mine I did not trust just melting the tabs so I did that and added some small drop of super glue
 
The more you know.... This original fuel gauge is a source of chassis ground. The original amp gauges are fire cracker hot all over. If the top of the metal matting frame should fall against these 2 gauges, the needle in the fuel gauge will be cremated to a white powder ash in a millisecond. Can leave a burn scar on the screen too.
Back in their daily driver days, owners would learn this by tapping on the lens when a gauge stopped working.
Bottom line, you can't overdo anchoring these bezel pieces.
