    52mm guages yea but the hole in the dash needs a bit of a fettle. Plus theres metal so a die grinder is best!

    That's no problem at all... Great stuff... Any recommendations on gauges. I really like the glowshift gauges but they take ages to come and can't wait that long. Anyone no if you can get them in the uk quicker? Or are there any gauges out there very similar to them?

    Stack guages if you can afford them, swoosh arnt to bad, also need to decide whether you want stepper motor versions of the guages you want which ups the price

    I quite like the style of the the glowshift gauge. Don't mean to sound stupid but stepper motor versions? What's that? Haha... I don't really like the stack ones to be honet I no there the best out there but don't like the style of them

    Stepper motor means the needle is controlled by an electric motor. Meant to produce a more stable reading i guess

    Stack stepper motor gauges FTW.

    AFM is pointless unless its a proper 'Wideband' version. Extrapolated gauges using narrowband sensors are complete garbage and best suited measuring the O2 levels of my dust bin.
