Default Defi Gauges?

Where can I buy Defi Boost and Fuel Pressure gauges? Anyone running them? Will they fit in Autometer Dual pod for C5s???

Thanks for the pics Mr. Big! Are these the 52mm ones? Is that the Autometer Dual Pillar Pod? I have heard that you need to have "one link controller" to make these gauges work. Is that true?

I have a mechanical boost and electric fuel pressure gauge from Defi, along with a pillar pod and associated A-pillar that I will be selling soon. If you're interested, let me know.

They look like the gauges here:

Only exception is I might not have the black plastic surround, instead the gauge bezel is aluminum -- a near perfect match for instrument clusters with the aluminum rings around them. In fact, I was told the same company that makes the Defi gauges also makes the Corvette instrument cluster / face. Not sure if that's true or not?

defi are awesome gauges, i would go with the 60mm and then just use a dremel to make the holes bigger on your autometer pod, that is what I did in my supra with great success
