OEM Gauge size?

[kablooie]

I am looking at getting some aftermarket gauges and wanted to just to put them in the stock locations... My question is what size aftermarket gauges do I need in order to have them fit in the stock cluster with little to no modification.

Thanks!

I did what you are talking about using 2-1/16" guages. I used some stuff called Plastic Fusion (comes in a two-part tube like epoxy) to bond them to the bezel. I did have to make holes in the blue plastic behind the bezel in order to allow proper fitment, but I'm happy with the end product.

Just a note: you could also use a larger guage (like 2-5/8"), and they would still fit. They'd actually be closer to your face and you may not have to cut holes in the blue plastic. I say this because the bezel is tapered.
