Default Blown, or someone with aftermarket gauges installed.

Can you go measure the widest part of the gauge for me?

I know it sys 2.0625" gauge, but is that the outside widest part, or the mounting diameter?

Please help me, I've got the base built for my gauge pod, and I just need to find out how big to make the rest of it...

Most gauges have a mounting hole that a 2 1/16th. Unless you get the larger gauges.

Same here for both my A/F and boost gauge.

So, the widest part of the gauge, is the same size as the hole??????????

How bout someone ACTUALLY measures one for me.

I know now, that 2.0625 is the mounting diameter.

That's not what I'm looking for.

Frenchy, how about you travel down to Autozone and measure one yourself?

Since I'm a nice guy I will tell you the front of the gauge is 2 1/16" as the back is exactly 52mm




Eventually I will switch over to this.

Lol, a trip to an auto store that has them would be a 2 hour trip. not something im willing to do just for measurements...

And it looks like the one is 2.25", is that what I'm seeing?

Sorry, I was outside working on the gauge pods and it's so damn cold here, I was kind of pissy.

Don't hate the playa!

hahah
