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

Thank you guys. Those are the gauges I am using. Bill, did you flange the holes and if not how did you secure the gauge in the hole. Thanks again, Brett

Just saw that I gave you the wrong segment. Go to post #325 to make another face plate if you haven't already.
