Aftermarket Gauges for 54
I am at the point where I am ready to purchase the guages for my project. The quad style gauges I am seeing from Dolphin, TPI, Classic are 5 inchers while my dash has 6 inch holes waiting for new gauges. I have seen the aluminum spacers also available but am wondering if there are gauges available that are 6 inch or if someone has mounted the 5 inch quads without the billet spacers. The less billet the better on this particular project.

Click this link HERE If that's not too rich for your blood. I believe it's a direct 6in fit but I could be wrong...

Re: Aftermarket Gauges for 54
Thanks but the digital gauges are not the look I am wanting. They are proud of those aren't they? For that price I can get the originals refurbed to 12V and V8 capability.

Re: Aftermarket Gauges for 54
Here is what I am putting in my 53, it covers all the bases except the turn signals and high beam. they do use a adapter but they come complete with all the senders.

Re: Aftermarket Gauges for 54
Here's a shot of mine installed with the turn signals/highbeam lights built in. I paid through the nose for these to be rebuilt and refaced, but I didn't want the 47-53 gauges in mine. I also had them set up for the 700R4 and 12 volt. I wanted a stock look to them.
