Anyone used 60mm Gauges in Autometer Instr. Cluster Bezel???
I was able to install 60mm apexi el gauges into the autometer gauge bezel. They look pretty sweet, I will take pics hopefully in a few days to prove it.
The procedure is a bit of a b*tch, I was scared to screw it up, luckily I received the bezel at a good price from a friend, but I know they go for $75 plus or so. You really have to take a dremel to it, took probably 3 hrs or so being careful.
The results are my boost gauge fits perfect, and the egt gauge sticks out about a 1/4", but it on the left side, so you really cant see it. Anyhow, I will try posting pics for my fellow DSM'rs...

cool. See if you can get some pics, i would really like to see that. Personally i like the smaller ones. It was hard enough trying to get those in. I can only image what you had to do. A 1/4 inch is a little to much IMO.

Here's a pic of my 60mm Defi's in an autometer dual pillar
It only took me about 35 minutes total with a dremel tool. I've done this before on my old eclipse with a lotek pillar, but I did a MUCH better job with the autometer one. If you've never done it before it can be nerve racking, but you just have to take your time.

I think they were about $480 shipped with the control unit. Kind of pricey, but these are the nicest gauges (i'm on my 3rd set) I've had so far.

Anybody using the Autometer gauge bezel?
Im contemplating getting one of these to put in some Autometer oil pressure and water temp gauges. For anybody who has this piece, can you comment on the fit and finish and post some pics if you have them.

Very nice fit, just like stock. Makes the gauges look like a factory install.

You guy's hijacked my thread, this is about a gauge works (autometer) gauge bezel with the install of 60mm gauges installed, not A-Pillars, that has been done over and over. I have not and cannot find any pics with 60's in a gauge bezel, so this thread is to let people know that it has been done, and a pic will follow soon. I feel like crap today (ear ache), so I have not had a chance to go out and finish hooking the gauges up and taking a pic. Hopefully tomorrow, depending upon how I feel and the damn weather.
