Center console gauges sizes ?
I need to order 2 gauges today and was curious if I should get the 2 1/16 or the 2 5/8 sizes for above the radio.
TIA :)
Did some seraching & found 2 1/16 to be the size so that's what the new Ultra Lite fuel level, voltmeter, oil pressure & water temp gauges will be :)

Are you going to all-electric gauges, or will you use the mechanical oil pressure and temp gauges? I'd like to know how easy it is (was?)...and maybe a picture?

I replaced mine with all 2-1/16" Autometer SportComp gauges and they fit like a glove!
No pics to post yet though... :(

Smoked it's 2 1/16. They fit perfect. I changed all of my gauges there. GSC3 took some pics at one of the HOOTERS events in Southeast but could not find 'em.

I went with the larger (2 5/8") ones since I was going the custom route...
