Also, I couldn't see how I was going to be able to rivet the gauge panel into the dash, nor did I really want to do that.
I ended up using safety wire to loop around the back of the center gauge, the part that is used to secure the gauge to the panel, and pulled the wire down behind the stereo and looped it around a brace. This keeps enough pressure against the gauge panel that it doesn't move and I have easy access to it once I pull the stereo and undue the safety wire from under the dash  .
