I might consider cutting out the portion to yield space for the pro pilot, and scabbing a piece of Al angle onto the bracket (to the left in the photo) to restore the strength. Details of how to do that would require a bit closer look.
Any chance you could swap it for the instrument above and get clearance that way without modifying the bracket?
My two cents.

Hey Greg
I was not sure my pics were viewable as I am a novice at this sort of thing.
I am considering the feasibility of bending the support bracket.
I believe the airspeed indicator would fit lower left and allow for pro pilot install in place of the airspeed indicator with no modifications. Don't believe I would be happy with that orientation of instruments though.
