Instrument cluster gauge clips

[81vee]

G'day guys,

Right now, I'm working on an '81 C10 w/gauges, and I noticed that a few of the retaining clips are missing. All of the gauges seem to work, but I'm not sure if I should be okay with one clip missing for practically every gauge that's installed. I am also having some problems with gauge accuracy, but that could be many things, like old wiring, bad grounds, gauges that have 200k miles on them, etc.

Let me know what you think.
