aftermarket gauges for an F600 panel?

Post by 390Nut »

Haven't really seen anything on this, and can't really find any info. I'm also not finding much in the way of info on aftermarket gauge sizes (how small/big a diameter the hole needs to be for them).

Anyone find aftermarket gauges that fit, without cutting the dash panel?

your small gauges (oil and stuff) are going to be roughly 2 inch gauges. you cut a 2 inch hole. but they go from 1.5- 2 5/8. Not sure what the 600 has.

Had the same idea...don't know how you would mount the gauges to the panel, unless you weld up some kind of a bracket to the rear of the it. Auto meter makes a series of small gauges that would look really trick (i have a plan :D ) However i scored a primo cluster & gauges (thanks Tony) and don't really want to take the chance of screwing it up. If i can find a panel separate...i'll crank up the welder & let ya know :wink:
