Re: autometer gauge install questions HELP
I did my gauges in front of the bezel. Had to open up the 4 small holes a little by sanding off most of the bezeled part that is silver. I believe the three larger gauges fit without modification.
Here they are - note I switched positions of the RPM and Speedo later ![]() Here's how I wired the lights ![]() Then I used some Radio Shack fuse blocks ![]() Once the bezel was mounted I wired the sending units. I used LED's from Radio Shack for the turn signals and I don't plan to wire in a bright headlight indicator.

Re: autometer gauge install questions HELP
Is the bezel alone strong enough to hold the guages without cracking??? Just wondering if you still need to use the metal back.

Yeah, is the plastic alone strong enough to support the gauges?
