Has anyone needed to add a rivet or stud near the front edge to make it conform to the hood better? I'm doing one or the other today.

Greg:
Paint job on the tach looks great. Mine sits flush and I did not need to add the front rivet. Did you use a rubber gasket between hood and tach? I think they are sold separately by Ames.
