Greddy EGT Problems

[turbohcar]

I am currently in the process of swapping an Autometer gauge I have for a Greddy EGT from a guy in Florida. He seems to be very cooperative, replying to my emails (usually daily for about a week and a half) and even agreed to meet me while I'm in the area in June. So, all things aside, I'm pretty comfortable with it. Now, here's where I need your help.
Did Greddy ever make a silver face EGT? The website only lists white and black faces but the picture makes it look almost silver. I have no reason to doubt him because he's shown me nothing but kindness but, people do put on their faces sometimes. He has assured me that it is a white face (which is what I want so it matches my Phantom boost gauge). Here's a link to the picture he sent me.

It looks to me like the probe is missing in this second one. I've emailed him and hopefully it was just left out of the picture.

He has also informed me that this is a 52mm gauge. I'm making some assumptions here so, bare with me. Greddy lists the sizes of their gauges as 52 and 60mm. If you read those sizes literally, they'd be huge. Now, I took two rulers and lined them up side by side to compare mm vs. inches. I'm assuming that by saying 52mm Greddy is really saying 5.2mm and 60 means 6.0mm (why they can't just say that I have no idea). That would make 5.2mm the correct size for my gauge pod (2 1/16 inch opening). Are my assumptions correct? Thanks for all of your help.

yes they made them in silver (called it a limited color) good thing is they have a backlight that matches DSM stock clusters VERY WELL. compared to the white and black that back light in greeen. Yes it looks like the proe is not in the picture, but even if its missing TRE has a GOOD probe that is pretty cheap. here is a link that that shows the silver face at night http://www.roadraceengineering.com/parts/greddy/silvergreddygauges-nicematchatnight.jpg

as far as sizes go, a 52 is about the same as a 2 1/16 which is a standard autometer size. The 60mm is a little big gaugepods.com has pillars for 52 or 60 or a combo of both. the 60mm is aboutt eh same as the average autometer 2 5/8 (think thats the size). you can hog out a Standard 2 1/16 pillar to fit a 60 but it look like crap IMHO.

Thank you very much for your reply. It was much appreciated. I'll look into the TRE probe if I end up needing one.

Even though the pictures may make it looks silver, it can only be white if it is 52mm. The silver gauges were only available in 60mm size. I know, I spent forever looking for a smaller silver face gauge to match my 99 cluster.

good point module, if you look a the first pic you can see that the backlight (where the tack marks are) is green which means its a white gauge face. just the lighting making it look hard to tell.

Once again, thank you for your help. Hopefully, it will be here by the end of the week.
