Has anyone seen a 4" speedometer or tachometer?
 
I planed on sinking some Auto Meters into my stock Bezel
I bought one of the 2-5/8" gauges and it fits perfectly into the smaller openings,
but the larger two holes are 4" I dont believe I'll have enough material to open up
the holes to fit a 5" speedo and tach and I'm not to sure about using the 3-3/8 gauges..
I am hoping that someone makes a 4" but have not had any luck finding any :(

Is this on the 70 camaro? If it is, take a look over at Nastyz28.com. There are a couple of really good threads on dash builds. Lot's of stock dashes with aftermarket gauges.:cheers:

Only because I don't know. :cheers:

Wow. There is some really cool stuff there. A 4" reverse rotation 180 mph speedo, a 10,000rpm tach with both peak rpm light and shift light. All kinds of cool stuff. Not the cheapest around but very cool! Thanks for the link.

The Autometer 5" gauges are not 5" they are less. Even the outside of the trim ring is less than 5". In the second pic someone put the 3 3/8" Autometer gauges inside the stock trim rings of a Firebird dash panel.

The opening necessary for an analog 5" Autometer is 4 9/16" so you'd need to enlarge the opening by a little over 1/4" all around.

If you're interested in the Autometer gauges, go to their site and pick a gauge. On the page for each particular gauge there's a link to a page with all the dimensions for all of the various models they sell. They're not exact though, the dimensions I listed above are exact for the cobalt series.

Those speed hut gauges were totally new for me!

Anybody have them? How are they compared to autometer or S-Ws?

I have not tried them myself. I am going with the good old Autometers. They already fit my 70 camaro dash. If you try them let us know how they do.

I am going to try them since that as all I can find in a 4"
I hope i will be ordering them next weekend
