Aftermarket gauge question

Post by S8n »

I'm trying to plan my instrument cluster, but I can't get exact dimensions for aftermarlet gauges. Summit Racing lists the diameter of the gauges as 2 1/16", which I'm assuming is the hole needed for the gauge to sit in. So what is the outside diameter of the bezel? Or is 2 1/16" the bezel diameter? Help! Thanks.

Hole diameter. Bezel would vary by manufacturer.

I have autometer 2 1/16 gauges, and they are 2 1/4 accross the bezel. Thats just using a ruler, I don't have a cliper, or I would have an exact measurment for you.

EDIT: to change the 3 1/4 to 2 1/4
