What sizes are the dash guages?

StefanLee · 01-31-2008

I tried a search, didn't find the answer.

The thing is, I am thinking of replacing my dash guages, it appears they are in pretty bad shape and I would like to have a set of new ones.

What sizes should I look for? Are the oil pressure etc guages 2 5/8"? What about the tach and speedo?

Is there something special I should think about when replcing them? I am at present looking at the Autometer metric line of guages.

The small gauges openings are 2 1/2" wide. The large ones are 4 5/8" wide. You will need to find gauges that are at least 2 5/8" and 4 3/4" so that there is an overlap, but no more than 3 1/2" and 5 1/2" or you get into clearance problems.
