Ok guys Autometer gauges in stock cluster chime in!

Ok calling all that used autometer gauges in their stock clusters. I need some pic's and info? Which gauges fit better the 2-1/16" or 2-5/8" and how did you do it? I do know you have to use 5" gauges in the 2 big outter holes but what about the middle hole? I'm torn between the phantom or the z series gauges as well. I have decided on one thing though (lol) everything electric except the speedo. So anyone and everyone chime in throw up some pics and info and help a man out thanks guys!

Re: Ok guys Autometer gauges in stock cluster chime in!

personnally i think the big lipped autometer gauges in the stock/billet/aftermarket bezels just look tacky. i like the chrome trimmed ones myself.

hey yea i think they look to me ok but i'm thinking I might go for the more stock like look where the smaller gauges are on the inside of the bezel and get the a 5" speedo and tach just dont know what to do about the middle hole yet. Im probably going with the phantom style gauges so I dont know .......i'm still debating ....lol

Can you post details about how you mounted the smaller 3 3/8s in the stock 5 inch holes? I actually like your setup alot and wondering how they fit there. Thanks!
