aftermarket gauge bezel for lots of 2 5/8" autometers?
 
Hello anyone know of where to get an aftermarket gauge bezel for like 10 autometer gauges? 2- 5" in the middle and 8- 2 5/8" gauges, 4 on each side? all of the ones I have seen only have a provision for 4 on the left side, I want 4 more on the right as well,,, any ideas would be great thanks ron

Unless you are piloting an airplane, is there really a need for 10 gauges? Seems a little over the top.

But to answer your question....I have never seen one offered.

If size is your concern, you don't need a different one. I've got 2 that size behind the factory bezel, looks fine. It would seem that its the same size as factory. For the number of them that you want though, I'm not sure. Perhaps use all the factory spots, then a gauge pillar? That would account for 9 gauges total. You could probably come up with a decent looking spot for the 10th.

You can get a blank panel and drill your own holes http://www.classicdash.com/shopping/...73-1987/Blank/ or change the whole dash out http://diy4x.com/cart/index.php?rout...product_id=148

I wish I had 4 on the right side of my dash. I am building a bezel with 2 extra gauges on the right side for my cummins conversion, adding a boost and pyro gauge. I would like fuel pressure and trans temp then I would be happy.

it is over the top,,, lol... I like lots of gauges and it will be different like most everything else on it... I can make my own bezel was hoping to save the trouble and find one someone makes already, the gauges I have are 5" Tach, Speedo, 2 5/8" oil pressure, water temp, volts, boost, vacuum, fuel pressure, fuel tank, clock

ya those are cool,,, but you see how they didn't mirror each side? so it would be hard to put 4 gauges on the right :(
