What is the size of the smaller Autometer gauges? 2.5inch?
I got some of those in, but you have to file back some of the hole to get them to fit.
Which isnt a problem unless your planning on fitting your vents back in.
I also used some of those autometer angled spacers, to angle them towards the driver
pic attatched, I know the AF gauge is crooked, but i'm fitting a matching oil press soon in its place. (mine on the dash are buggered)

Measuring? thats too hard
Just checked, the gauges I fitted were 2inch, and some sanding had to be done to get them to fit, but they look right at home in there.

why measure the gauge? 2" is the smallest diameter u can get...
plus..i wouldnt install gauges in the driver's airvent...too much light distraction + cops attraction..
mine is on AC compartment.

i disagree with cop attraction, this is one of the best integration setups / stock looking aftermarket gauge setup in any car. Unless of course you have pulsing blue LEDs lighting your gauges.

Hi guys,
Im going to be ordering some gauges from japan soon and i need to know, what size gauges i need to be able to fit them in the air con vents surrounding the instrument cluster (above the headlight and wiper switches) ?
thanks

Are you serious, measure the holes and get the closest size gauge. if there a little bit off, make em fit. EASY?
So for "maybe" being rude but i found your question pretty self answering, if that make sense
Cheers
Steve
