What size holes are on the dash bezel for gauges? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 08-19-2004, 08:57 AM

I have just a three hole dash bezel, but want to get a seven hole and put in aftermarket gauges. Can anybody tell me what size the 4 gauge holes are so I know what size to buy? I know the tach is 3 3/8.

thanks,

The small ones are all 2 5/8"
Middle one is 3 3/8"
The larger holes are 5"

The only thing in 3 3/8 inch is the white face guages by Autometer

So you HAVE to have 2 5/8 aftermarket gauges to have them fit correctly or are you allowed a little leeway?

If you go with the 2 5/8 you wil have to take a dremel and trim the holes a little. I just took the chrome out of the holes. They are tapered. No trimming is needed for the larger holes. You can get smaller guages for the 4 bottom holes, but I'm not familar with installing them and what it takes.

thanks,

I was wondering if 2 inch gauges will work?

Mudder · 08-19-2004, 09:52 AM

I'm afraid they would be too small. I havent checked them tho.

I was going to try to install these gauges. They are 2 inches though. Does anybody know the reputation of Equus gauges?
