If you open the holes out a little you should be able to put autometer gauges in. When I had my round cluster I did not have the means of a tool or mill to open up the holes were they would look good. So I sold it to a guy wanting to use the factory round gauges and used that money to but my billet insert. If there is a will there is a way, so figure out a way to mount them and you'll be set.
