Topic: 1940 Deluxe Instrument Cluster Mounting...

  As I look at the new 1940 Ford Book, other photos, and some of the videos on YouTube, I think the plastic face on my instrument panel sticks out a bit too far.

Were there spacers originally to keep the cluster from protruding from the metal part of the panel? Should the plastic be almost flush with the metal:

I am not sure what is correct now.

  It sticks out a bit from the instrument panel. The protrusion is limited by the body of the gauge cluster which bottoms against the instrument panel. There were no spacers.
