Re: Gauge HELP!!??!!??

the big gauges you will want to use 5", 2 1/16" works good for the small ones. there are dozens of threads on this, it's not hard, but time consuming & meticulous. you will have to cut up your dash bezel, gauge cluster & lense.
i did the 4 small ones on mine

I went with a stainless steel dash and got rid of the plastic.
