It looks like I bought the wrong Mechanical Oil Pressure and Water Temp gauges, for my '71 240Z. From looking at the Summit Racing site, I thought it was a no-brainer.

I ordered the Auto Meter Z-Series ATM-2604 Oil Pressure 0-100 psi gauge:

and the Auto Meter Z-Series Water Temp 120-140 gauge:

But they're way too small. What gives? Which gauges should I have bought? Check out the attachments???

I've seen the Auto-Meter gauges in the Z dash but I don't think they sit back into the panel like the stock gauges. They sit up close on the lip of the opening. Summit should take those back with no problem as long as the package hasn't been opened.

Maybe someone with those installed could post us a picture

Robert go to this link. It is probably what you're looking for. http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/autometer.htm

Much luck,

Thanks Chris. That's perfect...Robert

Yes, thanks Chris! Perfect fit.

I see one problem with your new gauges. As shown in the first picture, they sent you a 710 gauge by mistake!

That's due to the case of Corona Beer you can see through the windshield!

It's to hide the 67.5 1600 underneath...

I think the problem is that he got the 2 1/16" gauges instead of 2 5/8", hence why they look so small

I wish I had seen the zhome autometer article earlier, because I made my own brackets and used stock autometer stuff

Hey auxilary, that's a nice install. Yes, I did buy the 2 1/16" gauges, because I trusted the name "Z-Series". Live & learn.

I like the idea of custom brackets better than destroying the original gauge housing with a hole saw.
