Wide260z Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hey, i was just wondering what size gauges were in the dash. All my gauges are fried and i would like to replace them in the stock positions. It looks like 2 7/8" or 3". Was wondering exactly what they were.

Guest 73Turbo240z Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 use a 2 & 5/8" aftermarket gauge, then disassemble your stock gauges to use there buckets to mount the gauge in the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolane Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Did anyone notice the new Autometer Phantom II's and Sport-Comp II's. They look nice with the through dial lighting! Unfortunately, they are only available in 2 1/16" "with no plans to produce the 2 5/8"", I emailed them yesterday. They should be releasing the 5" Speedo and Tach in Spring 2007! Does anyone know where I can get some similar gauges in the sizes we need? I have looked at VDO, Nordskog, Autometer, Stewart Warner, and Speedhut.

2126 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 hey i found some really nice 60mm gauges is there anyway to make them work though? I want to replace my clock wiht a boost gauge I suppose you could but, you would have to fabricate bezel ring to make up the difference. (2.625" [66.68mm] minus 2.362" [60mm] divided by 2 equals 0.132" [3.35mm]) 0.132" would be the cross-section of the bezel. Gotta lathe?
