I just received my Boost and A/F autometer c2 gauges. I noticed when i took them out the box there were 2 bolts on each side of the gauge. Im trying to install them on a cluster bezel i bought off ebay, but i noticed the bolts where in the way. Should i cut them to make them fit? If i do cut them what tool should i use?
 
You can cut them off with a dremel or other rotary tool, or you can just bend them. Are you sure thats whats causing the gauge not to fit in the cluster? When I put in my gauge cluster bezel, I had to use a dremel to trim the clear gauge cover as well as the black cover to get my oil pressure gauge to fit. If it really is just the screws, its pretty thin metal and can easily be bent or cut.
 
the cluster bezel fit, its the boost and a/f gauge that wont settle in because of the 2 bolts thats connected to the gauges. So what im going to do now is get a dremel and trim the 2 bolts and it should fit. Thanxs for the help.

My cluster bezel fit fine, I just had a depth issue with the gauges I was putting in. My oil pressure gauge was like 4 in deep so I had to do some trimming.
