Aftermarket gauges
Can anyone tell me what aftermarket gauges will work in the standard openings in our dashes? I would like for the replacements to fit behind the face plate just as the stock ones do but I really have no idea yet as to how they are installed.

Unfortuantely there is nothing standard about the instrument panel, there are no aftermarket direct-replacement gauges.

They don't make any aftermarket gauges that fit directly into the dash. But it isn't too difficult to machine a dash panel to hold aftermarket gauges. I just finished replacing the factory gauges with autometer gauges. Its not too difficult mostly just time consuming. If you have any questions about it or want to see pics email me at jbenge@hotmail.com
