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.

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"? |
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! |
Hey, T Wyatt! You're in Richmond? I'm in Richmond!

1988RedT2, I am on South-Side over in the Courthouse / Genito road area. How about you?

I work near Broad and Glenside -- West End. Live outside of Sandston -- East End. Traffic was a bitch this morning!
|
I would like to bump this up. Has anyone successfully done this and if so, can you tell me how?
Thanks! |
If I were you I would leave the stock ones in place for obvious reasons. I would just put the aftermarket on in a pod and call it a day.

I will let you know after this winter. I plan on doing my whole interior in my car. Carbon fibre by mark Koch and all new gauges. Oh and a paint job. Woo Hoo. It is not that hard dude. First is go find a junk yard with a pod and have a spare just in case of a mis-hap. And practice on it.
