Auto Meter Guage ???
I was needing some information about the size of the dash gages. I know I want to use the White faced Auto Meter guages, but I am needing the sizes on the bezel.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do or where to put what were? Needing ideas and any pictures that anyone is willing to share. Thanks again, -Michael |

my top ones are 5 inch i believe, the biggest ones they got. My little ones are 2 and 5/8. I just cut the holes in the bottom with a hole saw. If you got any questons let me know.

I have the same 5" ones on top but used the 2 1/8" ones for the bottom. No drilling required and the actually sit flush with the bezel. Good luck!

I saw this pic on one of the posts, and this is what I plan on using. It's a glove box door with holes cut in it.

I'm going to try and cut out the back of the panel and use a nibbler to cut the holes.
