Does a seca 8 inch bucket go onto a maxim bracket ok?

Well smaller gauges would need their own bespoke bracketry and wiring, but hey, why not if that's what you want. The issue is the bottom of the gauges clashing with the top of the bucket. Smaller wouldn't automatically solve that.

Understood.

If you read back up you'll see its possible to move the gauges mountings to above the top tree,
I believe this pulls the speedo cable a little tight for my liking, I couldnt confirm the tacho drive cable. At worst, you could remove the rubber guide, or get a seca cable. So you don't need to cut anything really.
I inserted .5 of an inch, I think that could be reduced to .3 inch, maybe less.

I was thinking about this while driving today - this isn't quite true - say you had a chrome bracket and didn't want to cut it, so you bend the ears, raise the gauges, but you'll still need to cut the nut off the bracket adjuster, and the corresponding bit on the bucket otherwise the lamp points at the sky.

As it turns out... I found my dented, damaged, and rusted out 650rj bucket

So.. how much is that dented, damaged, and rusted out 650rj bucket worth anyway?

For testing things and trial fittings, it’s priceless.
