Fuel gauge needle

[valkman]

So I took out the gauge out of my Ralley cluster because the gauge works but the needle wasn't moving correctly. While removing it the needle fell out! Anyone ever mess with these, and knows how the needle is supposed to mount in there? It's not obvious by just looking at it. Seems like I'm missing something?

I figured it out! If anyone was curious, from a picture I found, it apears that the square loop on the needle hooks to either metal tab and the gauge face holds the in place. Because of this I had to hook the tabs with the gauge face in place, it was a bit tricky but I was able to get it.

If look closely you can see the two tabs hooked to the loop.
