Re: gauges
No pictures but sizes are as follows
Speedo-5" Tach(middle gauge)-3 3/8" The rest(4 on bottom)-2 5/8 I'm pretty sure those are the correct sizes, I've been looking into it myself. Someone will correct me if I'm off but I'm almost positive those are correct.

Re: gauges
the bottom 4 I used 2 1/6" they look like they are born there
2 5/8th are to big unless you want the gauge to sit on the dash panel not in it.. |

Re: gauges
Do you have a picture of how those gauges mount? I like that though, my way does have them sitting inside of the holes, they are just big enough not to fall through them though.

Re: gauges
Or I could have written the measurments down wrong, I have measured my bezel and some gauges I have, like I said, I could be wrong, I'll have to check when I get off work if I get a chance.

Re: gauges
Hey John, you have a picture of the back of that thing? I'm interested as to how those mount because that looks to be the same as stich's.

Re: gauges
Wow that clock is awesome! I think I read something about that before and he custom built that clock or something like that? Anyway, that dash is freaking awesome!

Re: gauges
Yeah, from what I hear it's hard to find anything besides speedos and tachs that are 3 3/8.

2-5/8" is correct for "rear mounting" if you want the gauge trim ring to be outside of the bezel holes (see JOHNORO's photo) 2-1/16" is correct if you want the gauge trim to be slightly inside of the bezel holes (see STICH626's photo)
