replacing gauges on a 75
im thinking of putting in some nicer than stock, full sweep electronic autometer gauges. what size are the center console gauges on a 75 stingray? the little ones, are they 2 5/8", or 2 1/16", or something else?

Autometer guages template question
Have a 78 vette speedo 140 mph and tach 5500 yellow (red) line. Downloaded template for the Autometer guages conversion from site here just haveing trouble trying to align template and guage cluster to use it. Do you take the bezel with allen head screws off and then mount template? Been wanting to mount autometer guages in there for a while any help is appreciated. Have the speedo and tach will give to anyone who needs them. Been helped by some generous members here would like to repay the favors in a small way, Thanks houstonvett
