Well!!!
What sizes were the gauges and
What were the two hole saws used

I want to put a tachometer where my brake light is now, and would also like to know what diameter gauge to order. Admire the nice work.

I had an '80 3+3 that had idiot lights on the left side of the dash. There is not a clear lens on it, just the red filters. I was able to fit 2 1/16" gauges into the factory light pods. I believe I had to do minor trimming the the back side of the dash face and the backing plate, but it fit behind the stock bezel.

My K30 is running an Autogauge #2891 tach. It's 2 5/8". You could probably modify the backing plate to make it fit.

I’ll do this some day when I’m more brave. Might do it when I pull the trigger on the 4l80 swap since the bezel will get pulled for that and I want a ~2” trans temp gauge.

Can't say enough about how easy and good looking this swap is.

Got for Christmas last year. Had a problem and they sent me a whole new kit. This one works great, not diesel. They were out for a long time, had a small supply for about a month and now it appears LMC is out again indef.

I asked diesel because it goes to 5k, If you got a 283 or some kind of engine that likes its revs you run out of tach lol
