ezzzzzzz Posted November 21, 2005 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2005 2 5/8 and 5 inch diameter. This is not a drop in. Search for autometer or gauges and check each post out. There is one out there that tells hows the 2 5/8 gauges were done by gutting the original gauge housings and inserting the autometers. Some folks just wrap tape around the gauge until it is a tight fit while others go to a more elaborate setup. There is no one method...it's up to your skill and imagination.
