Yeah, I think that they just started reproing these within the last year or two.. It was a much needed item for many, many years that just was'nt available.  Now it is.

I'm not familiar with this part, although I have taken apart many 66 clusters.  Is this part of the cluster, or is this part of the dash structure to accept the dash cluster itself?  I thought simple j-clips slide over the protrusions from the dash structure itself.

Any clarification of where this part goes would help to satisfy my curiosity.  Thanks.

It is a modified J-Nut, only for the 4 screws on the TOP of the cluster.  They come through on a weird angle and won't go into a plane J-Nut.  There are 4, and they slide onto the 4 tabs in the sheetmal BEFORE installing the cluster.

Yes, The 4 identical clips clip onto the top of the dash opening.  The clips are on the dash, NOT the cluster.
