Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

Fuel gauge would be a good one.
My last one is tranny temp.

Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

Ya I guess that a fuel guage would be a good idea.. That would be the one for the center hole correct??? But hard to find also??

Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

I was hoping to cram
5in: speedo tach

2 5/8: Fuel, Volt, Water Temp, Oil Pressure, Trans temp, And either a vacuum or clock

My cardboard cut out of it looks nice. Just need them fundage now.

Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

Here is the way I have my Autometer gauges set up.



The tach and speed positions are now reversed. Same with the clock and temp guage.

Nope, haven't hooked up the speedo yet I'm still considering taking the manual speedo out and replacing it with an electronic speedo.

Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

I love my electric one. I have recalibrated it (rear end swap) and the calibration took all of 5 minutes. Awesome.

Re: Autometer guage bezels guys..

There's a couple of ways of doing it. Like Putter behind the Bezel or like mine that are put in through the front. Going in from the front is no big deal. Just use a dremel and make the bottom holes a tad bigger and drop them all in. The wiring is what took a little time. I have all electric guages except for the speedo.
