Is there a way to get it more stable without buying a polished aluminum one. I would just cover the aluminum with the CF dash cover anyways and thats a lot of money for aluminum dash. Any ideas....While you think of them im going to knowledge vault to see if i can find some old threads.

mine has thick velcro strips attached to the back of the flyscreen right where the gages touch it. Looks stock..

Doesn't keep the gages from bouncing around but it only happens at idle, and the velcro prevents rattling.

Update here:
OK i got some self adhesive Velcro strips 1"x 3" and cut them in half lengthwise, I removed the windscreen and attached the Velcro where the dash was hitting fly screen on both the tach and the speedo on the tops of them and on the back of the fly screen. It is working well to stop the flopping.
