    Have been working in the maverick interior call a repair seat belts facility and the repair price very high so hands on remove the retractors inspected and replace the new webbing cost less than 45 Dls now like brand new,
    Note the thread and needle is to hold the webbing in place and to sewing the belt

    I did about the same thing but with a piece of flat plastic. And I used the factory bezel, just cut the last probably 1/4 inch off to help open it up. Could use a little more but once I mounded it in the dash all gauges are visible. This is my second set of Dakota Digital gauges. They are pricey but I think they are worth it. I’m picky when it come to my dash. Yours look great!!

    I fumbled around with mine building it up with epoxy before giving up on that idea. I ended up buying some clear acrylic tube that I epoxied to a second bezel and that worked perfectly. After that I sat there with a dremel shaping the inside for what seemed like an eternity.
