Gauges

What size are the original gauges for a third gen Camaro? I have an 86 Sport Coupe. They definately do not look like 3 1/8. Are they 5"? If they are neither, where can I get aftermarket gauges to fit the original cluster?

There are no aftermarket gauges to fit the original cluster.

Re: Gauges

How much do you want for them? How high does the speedo go? Is it the full set of gauges?

Re: Gauges

They're not the same. The Firebird got an electronic speedo years before the Camaro did.

Re: Gauges

Im looking to soon replace the stock gauges and would like to keep the original cluster style because i like my wood grain dash. Could you tell me where i could find a set of these gauges?

Really now? I'm sure there may have been some cutting and such, but in the end it looks to fit pretty well. Not mine BTW.
