Flustrated

Got to vent a little. I've been doing the Autometer gauge behind the bezel thing and for months have been trying to figure out what to do with the factory tach 3-3/8" hole. Autometer no longer makes the 3-3/8" size gauge and I already have hundreds invested in the Phantom series for the other six holes. I don't want to fab something that looks like crap. Any venders out there that could come up with something for this hole? It looks like to me it could be a big seller. Or does anyone else have pics of something they have done?

Re: Flustrated

Maybe not what you're looking for, but how about putting turn, high beam, and e-brake indicators there behind a clear lens?

Or a giant shift light?

Re: Flustrated

33 shooter, I can't find any Autometer gauges in the 3-3/8 size. (Or at least in the Phantom series) Basemodel, we are on the same wavelenght, as my tach came with the shift light, I had thought of putting it in the center hole. Just want it to look nice. It's a shame to spend hundreds of dollars on nice gauges and then have a cheap crappy looking something in the center of it all. I really wish someone would make a six hole bezel. I can't believe with all the people like us who have this problem that no one does. I have seen nice pics on here of guys who did this years ago, when Autometer made a 3-3/8 gauge, just a shame they discontinued it!
