I want to replace my stcok Water Temp and Oil Pressure gauge with some of the Defi link system gauges. I want to be able to mount the new gauges where the current ones are. Is that possible and if so, what size should I get? ie 52mm or 60mm. (I think those are the sizes)



Thanks!

It has been done with autometer gauges, but I'm not positive of what size was used

52mm would be a closer fit i think. they have to be really shallow though

Ask Godon this, but he replaced ALL his gauges with Auto Meters, looks damm sweet, said it took alot of work and money.

Its actually not too bad. The hardest part would be to get a speedometer that will work properly.

yeah gordon went with autometers because they are about the only people who have a speedo (vdo, and some of the hot rod places do too)

I only want to replace the water temp and oil pressure gauges. I am ok with the tach and speedo. that are in the car now.

So Autometer gauges will work "in dash"?

twyatt 08-26-2002 08:58 AM

I called Autometer and the guy said that the Autometer gauges should work so laong as th stock gauge holes are 2 1/16 in size. It looks like they have a in dash mount also. Does ANY one have any experience and success in getting any aftermarket gauge in the stock gauge panel?



Thanks!
