Hey Guys. I have two new 5 inch silver faced Autometer gauges that I was hoping to install in a fabricated piece of aluminum in the dash. Has anyone done that here with success, and if so, did it look good? If not I could drop down to 2 3 3/8. This s a GT V8 build so I'm good with the non OEM

easily done........... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...1776&st=400 If you don't flange the new holes then use urethane foam with the gages set in the faceplate, covered in saranwrap but not installed on the car. This gives the gages support. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just saw that I gave you the wrong segment. Go to post #325 to make another face plate if you haven't already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
