Afterthought question here.......

I'm having trouble identifying the correct size of my
"Autometer Pro Comp Ultra Lite Gauges", (the smaller ones).
Upon contacting Autometer, they said they come in,
BOTH 2 1/16" & 2 5/8" sizes.

I'm trying to identify the size WITHOUT having to take the Bezel out and measure those gauges.

That being said, they DO fit in the OEM GM Bezel,
so does anyone know if that size measures 2 1/16" or 2 5/8"?

I've attached 2 pictures of my set up.

You know....that ANNOYING 3rd Hole in the Dash Bezel,
of some 67-72 C-10's/GMC's.
The one that's between the Speedometer and the Tach.

I'm thinking of getting a Billet Dash Bezel, but I only have 5 Gauges.
So I'm wondering if there's any one person (or Company) that has come up with a "Plug or Insert" that will fit into this Hole?

Something that is NICE LOOKING and not Trashy!
Maybe something with an emblem or Logo?

I could go out and buy a Clock or something, but quite honestly I don't wanna pop for the added expense.

So I thought I'd ask if anyone HERE had a Solution???

I've enclosed a picture of the Dash in this post.

There IS a Billet Dash Bezel that is made for only 5 Gauges, but it requires that you "CUT TABS" out of each side of the Dash.

Cut too much and you S.O.L.

Heres ANOTHER question..........
Speaking of Billet Dashs, I've noticed theres a fair amount of whhat I call, "Solid Billet Dash Gauge Bezels", on the Market. Designed just like our OEM Dash Gauge Clusters.

Then there are the "Billet Overlays", that just fit over your old plastic Bezel and just the trim around the edge shows.
I'd like to know if anyone here has installed either of these and if you could post your experience with them, along with photos.
Maybe some Pro's/Con's regarding the product/Installation (or BOTH).

I would really like to share my idea for gauges, but I don't want to give it away until I am sure it will work. Let's just say... you will all be jealous!

P.S. - The center hole size does make it a pain in the doinklet to come up with a good looking solution. If only it was bigger or smaller!

Yea I feel you pain.
I search for MONTHS and finlly find a Billet Gauge Insert that I like, only to find out it accepts 2 5/8" Gauges and mine are 2 1/116"
