with a tape meausre?

what are you looking for? aftermarket? like autometer or something? Their gauges fit a 2 1/16 hole and are about 2 5 1/6 in overall width at the face.

Making that fit into your stock dash is another story....

Re: stock gauge size

Thats what i am asking.
there are many sizes available and i was trying to find out what size to get to fit in the stock dash.
if it wont work, then ill forget it and deal with it, but id like a digital gauge for temp at least.
not sure about full digital gauges, but digital oil pressure, trans temp and water temp make sense to me.
thats why i want to keep my stock gauges.

Re: stock gauge size

what do you mean?
im not sure if it works or not, i'm sure it would work, i havent tried it.
if you want it you can have it for basically nothing.
i could find out how much it would be to ship ( my guess no more than a few bucks)
5 total its yours. when you get it and if it doesnt work i'll give back your 5 bucks and you can do w/e with it, throw it out. make art out of it. haha
